Gans Creek Cross Country Course

The new home of Columbia College Cross Country is a championship-level course with supporting amenities designed to host major cross country competitive events. This dedicated course has a 500-meter starting chute, 2K and 3K loops, 30-foot-wide irrigated turf, permanent finish line structure, outdoor shelter, and indoor building with restrooms. As a premiere cross country course complex, it was designed to accommodate spectators and media with a raised seating area and various vantage points along the course. It is located in the 320-acre Gans Creek Recreating Area in south Columbia off of Highway 63 at the Discovery Parkway exit.

In 2024, 2027, and 2030, the Course will host to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Championships in November.
