Cross Country and Track Club at UC Davis

Join us to support the Cross Country/Track Club fund

The Cross Country / Track & Field Club at UC Davis is a student-run organization that gives Aggies the opportunity to participate in athletics at all levels, from casual running to competing against the best club teams in the nation. Beyond racing, our club is a community where students make friends, destress, and chase their athletic goals together.

Each fall, we compete at the National Intercollegiate Running Club Association (NIRCA) Cross Country Nationals, the pinnacle of club cross country. UC Davis is one of only two California schools that regularly sends a team to this meet, despite California having one of the largest high school cross country communities in the country. This year’s Nationals will take place in Shelbyville, Indiana, a unique and exciting opportunity for our athletes to represent UC Davis on a national stage.

However, traveling across the country comes with significant costs. Flights, hotels, rental cars, race entry fees, and NIRCA league dues add up quickly, making the trip expensive for many of our student-athletes. For most of our runners, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete with their teammates at such a high level before graduation.

Your contributions directly help make this trip possible. Donations will go toward covering travel costs and ensuring all athletes regardless of financial background can experience Nationals in Shelbyville. Any extra funds will help support travel to other meets during the season. Please consider donating and helping us send Aggies across the country to compete!
