Cross Country

This multi-use park includes one of the nation’s few sites designated specifically for cross country running. This trail is a pristine, multi-surface course that can host running events of all sizes. The facility features numerous course/distance options through the rolling hills, lowlands and pine forests. The trail was designed to give runners the opportunity to run on several types of surfaces. When the trail is not being used for a running event, it is open to the general public for hiking, running and biking. The park includes four multi-purpose grass fields with American football field goals, two of which are lighted.  These fields are also used for soccer and lacrosse. The parking area can accommodate more than 3,500 vehicles at one time. Additionally, the park has a remote control airplane and helicopter airfield. The park has hosted the Florida High School Athletic Association Cross Country Championships, the Florida State University Cross Country Invitational, the NCAA Regional Cross Country Championships, Pop Warner Football and the Florida State Invitational Soccer Tournament.
