On November 21, 2024, the fourth edition of Cross Champs will bring in Olympians and national champions from around the world to go head-to-head with bragging rights and fast times at stake.

A year ago, HOKA NAZ Elite swept both individual and team titles, with Katie Wasserman winning the women's race in 26:49 over adidas' Katie Izzo (26:51), and Adrian Wildschutt holding off UA Dark Sky's Edwin Kurgat, 22:07- 22:11. 

Along with HOKA NAZ Elite, athletes from world-class clubs including the On Athletics Club, PUMA Elite, Brooks Beasts and Hanson-Brooks ODP have graced the 8k course at Camp Mabry during previous editions. The field for 2024 is already jam-packed with talent.

Just under a month out from this year's race, there are already eight teams committed along with a few individuals.
