Apalachee Regional Park's 2018 cross-country schedule--the tenth season of racing

2018 will be the tenth season for the Apalachee Regional Park Championship Cross-Country Course. Where did the time go?


It doesn't seem that long ago, but it was back in 2009 that Leon County Parks and Recreation first started developing a dedicated cross-country running facility at Apalachee Regional Park, east of Tallahassee, Florida. Things moved quickly after that, and on Saturday morning, 10 October 2009, the first meeting was held on the course--the 38th annual Florida State University Cross-Country Invitational. It was one of only three meets held at ARPXC during that inaugural season. Since then, the total has grown to 65 events. ARXPX has become the regular home of the Florida's high school state championship and the NJCAA Region 8 championship. The course has also played host to the NCAA Division 1 South Region Cross-Country Meet and the USATF National Cross-Country Championships. The NCAA Division 1 Cross-Country Championship is scheduled at Apalachee Regional Park in 2021.
