The competition site for men's and women's cross country, the Moakley Course is mapped out across Cornell's Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, just one mile from the center of campus.
The men’s 5-mile course was first run in 1953. With the exception of one asphalt road which is crossed twice, the entire course is on the grass “carpet” of the golf course.
There are two gradual hills that rise 25 and 30 feet, respectively, over one-quarter mile of terrain each.
In 1978, the women’s course was converted from 3 miles to 5,000 meters (3.1 miles). Its route traces a portion of the Moakley Course. Both courses are ideal for spectators because runners are seldom out of sight of the start/finish line.
