June 27, 2022 update -- We are excited to again be able to host the Great American XC Festival, Presented by Garmin at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. on Saturday, October 1, 2022!
The GAXC Festival started in 1999, was purchased by the NSAF in 2002, and has been hosted at WakeMed Soccer Park since 2009. In 2021 we had 11 boys' and girls' varsity and junior varsity 5,000m races, highlighted by the Nike Race of Champions events -- plus the Cedric Walker HBCU Challenge men's 8k and women's 5k championship races.
