Haven’t had your fill of Cross Country yet??? There are several postseason options to choose from and Nike Cross Northeast Regionals has something for everyone. Nike Cross Nationals is also finally back this year, so NXR returns to be the popular qualifying meet it has been for years.

Whether you are a team with national qualifying aspirations or just want another incredible team experience while rubbing elbows with some of the best XC athletes in country, NXR Northeast has something for everyone. With Olympians featured every year from Olympic Champ Matt Centrowitz in 2018 to Jordan Hasay in 2017 to Colleen Quigley in 2019, Nike is well represented each year.

This is the team qualifier for Nike Cross Nationals held in Portland, Oregon yearly, which Souhegan girls earned in 2016 following the Coe-Brown girls’ trips in 2013 and 2014, as well as Hanover’s trip in 2007. Individuals can also qualify as Julia Robitaille accomplished in 2017,Caroline Fischer did in 2016, Elisabeth Danis in 2015 and Maegan Doody in 2014. And, as we all remember, Coe-Brown’s Aidan Cox won last year.

Think you or your team might be a year away from qualifying or simply want the experience? Will it pay off?? NXR offers both Championship and Open races for both teams and individuals. Prior to qualifying in 2013, Coe-Brown placed 5th in 2012. Experience can be vital! To cap it off, they have a youth race to end the day.

Few more notes:

Teams/Individuals do not have to qualify to compete at the Regionals. Anyone can enter. Select the race that is appropriate for you (Championship or Open).
A handful of Nike Sponsored professional athletes attend. The past years have included Matt Centrowitz, Mary Cain, Emily Enfield, Andrew Wheating and Jordan Hasay.
Friday Night Pasta Dinner (reservation required) is also offered and will feature Nike athlete in a Q&A.
New York Regional is also held here on the same day, so many of the nation’s best runners compete here!
How does NH measure up against NJ, PA, and New England???

A reward for the season’s hard work, the experience to run against the best in the Northeast! A team bonding experience? NXR still offers both Championship and Open races for both teams and individuals. To cap it off, they have a USATF youth race to end the day.
