Big Sky Cross-Country Championships to Air Live on ESPN+ in Pocatello

Conference Announcement

Pocatello, ID - The days are counting down, and the anticipation couldn't be more prominent.

On Thursday, in conjunction with Idaho State University, the Big Sky Conference announced that the conference cross-country championships would be broadcast live on ESPN+ on Friday, Nov. 1. 

The XC championships made their broadcast debut last year, with the conference and the host University of Montana Grizzlies collaborating to present their biggest running competition of the year to the nation. This year, the host Bengals will get the nod when all ten teams make their way to the Riverside Golf Course next month. 

This is a feat that wouldn't be possible without the hard work and dedication of the broadcast crew and the staffs of the Big Sky and Idaho State, each of whom have put in tireless efforts to maximize the outreach of the Big Sky's top-level runners.

RACE TIMES
In addition to the ESPN+ announcement, the race times for the championship have been confirmed. The men will commence the day with the 8K at 11:00am MT, and the women will follow with the 5K at 12:00pm MT.
