Kick off the 2025 XC season in style with Columbus Running Company and Nike! Grab your friends and teammates and join us for the Arch City XC Festival on Saturday, July 26, 2025! This year's event will take place at our new location on the grounds of Westerville North High School (950 County Line Rd, Westerville, OH 43081). The day will start with an adult open race, open to all ages, at 8:00 am. This will be followed by a high school 5k (boys and girls combined), a middle school 2-mile races (boys and girls combined), and two elementary school 2-mile races (boys and girls run separately). All races will finish inside the stadium, where spectators can watch from the stands!

High schoolers and middle schoolers: Create a team of 3 (or join a team that your friends have already set up within the registration process) to be eligible for team scoring and have a chance at winning random prizes! Random apparel prizes will be given to 3 members of two different teams registered in the HS/MS races.

All registration proceeds from this race will be used to help the Westerville North cross country and track programs!

Please note: if you are signing up for one of the elementary/middle/high school races, you should sign up to compete with the grade level you are going into this fall!
