Arch City XC Festival

Westerville, United States • 25 Jul 2026

Arch City XC Festival

The Arch City XC Festival takes place at Westerville North High School in Westerville, Ohio. The event is held on a cross country course that concludes with a finish inside the stadium, allowing spectators to view the final moments from the grandstands. Registration must be completed online by the day before the event, as there is no registration available on the day of the races.

The festival offers three primary events, all covering the same distance:

  • 2-Mile Open (Adults and High School Grades 9-12)
  • 2-Mile Middle School (Grades 7-8)
  • 2-Mile Elementary School (Grades K-6)

All races are conducted with combined genders. Participants in the school-age categories are instructed to register for the grade level they will enter in the upcoming autumn season. High school and middle school participants have the option to form teams of three during the registration process to participate in team scoring.

Proceeds from the registration fees are designated to support the cross country and track programs at Westerville North. The event features potential random apparel prizes for selected teams in the middle school and high school categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
