After a weekend of exciting Division I cross country conference championships, all eyes are now set on the nine NCAA Regionals on November 14 that will decide who gets to run at the 2025 NCAA Cross Country National Championship in Columbia.

Only the top two teams automatically move on from each regional, making up 18 of the 32-team field. 

The rest are chosen at-large by committee.

All in all, 36 individuals will earn automatic bids with two remaining highest placing runners earning at-large bids.

How Do Teams, Runners Qualify For NCAA D1 Cross Country National Championship?

For men's and women's, the top two teams in each regional — there are nine in total — automatically qualify for the championships, which equates to 18 automatic qualifiers. 

The NCAA DI Cross Country Subcommittee will then choose 14 at-large teams to fill out the 32 team field.

Individually, the first four finishers who do not belong to an automatic qualifier or an at-large team automatically advance to the championships. All four finishers have to finish in the top 25 within their region. Altogether, 36 individuals automatically qualify and two are chosen at-large, making 38 the grand total. The two at-large selections are the highest placing individuals at a regional that were not automatic qualifiers.
