Who runs in the DI cross country regionals?
The DI cross country regionals feature any eligible teams and/or athletes from a region. There aren't any qualifying standards/times required to run in a regional meet.
 
How long are the DI cross country regional races?
In each region, all women run in a six-kilometer race while all men run in a 10-kilometer race.
 
How do the regional championships determine automatic qualifiers?
The regional championships help teams advance to the Division I cross country championships each year. The top two teams in each regional secure automatic bids to the championship. The first four regional finishers not from an automatic qualifying or at-large team also secure an auto-bid to the championships.
If a team doesn't secure an automatic bid, it will have to rely on the NCAA DI Cross Country Subcommittee to select it as one of the 13 at-large teams. Only two individual at-larges are selected, making a strong regional performance pivotal to advancing toward a national title.
