Fox Valley Summer XC Classic 5K
Saturday, June 13, 2026 | Geneva, IL
Presented by Fox Valley Running
The Fox Valley Summer XC Classic 5K is a true cross country–style race held at the Settler’s Hill Cross Country Course in Geneva, Illinois—one of the premier purpose-built cross country venues in the Midwest.
Designed to host large local meets and regional championships, the course features an exceptionally wide 80-meter curved starting line with 40 starting boxes, a 550-meter starting straightaway, and a 250-meter finish straightaway. All loops utilize a 10-meter-wide grass running path, with common start and finish lines for all distances, creating a fair, fast, and welcoming racing experience for runners of all levels.
The venue regularly hosts high school, collegiate, and championship-level competitions and was professionally measured in 2022, reinforcing its reputation as a premier racing facility built for competitive fields while remaining accessible to the broader running community.
This 5K is ideal for high school and college runners looking for a summer XC tune-up, as well as adult runners who want a well-organized off-road race on grass rather than pavement. Whether you’re chasing a fast effort, racing with teammates, or simply looking to challenge yourself on a beautiful grass course, you’ll find an authentic cross country atmosphere with plenty of space to run your race.
Runners may participate as individuals, with optional team affiliation available for high school teams, college teams, running clubs, and open teams. Team scoring will follow traditional cross country format, while individual runners are equally celebrated.
All participants registered by May 25, 2026 are guaranteed an official race t-shirt. Registrations after that date will receive shirts while supplies and sizes last.
Come race on grass, test your fitness, and enjoy a classic summer cross country experience at the Fox Valley Summer XC Classic 5K.
