WHY THIS COURSE WORKS

Built to bring out your best.

Reimagined for athletes, coaches, and fans - and now presented with a polished SMORTLER + SI experience online and in print.

01 / RACE

Room to run.

With a starting area built to accommodate 40 teams and grassy racing paths more than 30 feet wide, the course gives every runner room to find their stride.

40 TEAMS AT THE START

02 / COMFORT

Made for the crowd.

Ample parking, shaded areas for team tents, designated restrooms, and spectator-friendly facilities make for a better experience off the course, too.

03 / THE MOMENT

A finish you can feel.

The final 800 meters loop near the finish line. Two sets of bleachers along the last stretch bring the energy right to the runners when it matters most.

FINISH-LINE ATMOSPHERE

SMORTLER XC PRESENTS

Tradition meets the next generation.

Remodeled in 2020, Choctaw Trails combines the character of a true grass cross-country course with thoughtful improvements for competition and spectators. Mile and kilometer markers, multiple clocks, wide racing lanes, and a lively final stretch help make every race an occasion - and SMORTLER XC makes the course easier to explore, share, and print beautifully.
