The stage is set in Kenosha, Wis., where the nation’s strongest Division II runners are gearing up for their biggest test of the year. 

The path to nationals crystallized after the Nov. 8 regional meets, where 34 teams secured their places—three automatic qualifiers from each of the eight regions, joined by 10 at-large squads ready to shake up the leaderboard.

And the individual talent pool? Deep. Fifty-one runners—26 women and 25 men—earned their tickets through standout regional performances and competitive at-large selections, adding even more unpredictability to championship day.

On Saturday, Nov. 22, the 2025 NCAA Division II Cross Country National Championships will bring championship pressure and postseason fire to the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross Country Course.

The women will set things in motion with a fast and furious 6000m, before the men dig in for a grueling 10000m battle. Fans can catch every sprint, surge, and decisive move live on NCAA.com.
