Coaches, ADs, and Principals,
Hi, my name is Tommy Maguire and I’m the head cross-country coach at Cave Spring High School in Roanoke, Virginia. We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and preparing for a much needed winter break. I know that many cross-country coaches and athletic directors have already started to plan for the 2026 fall cross-country season. I would like to take a moment to invite you and your team to participate in the 22nd Annual “Knights Crossing” cross-country invitational on Saturday September 12th in beautiful Green Hill Park in Roanoke County.
* Fall of 2025 invitational included 100+ high schools, 60+ middle schools, and 20+ elementary schools. There were over 2,600 runners participating with 12 out of state teams racing.
Our #1 goal with Knights Crossing is to provide a fun atmosphere where runners can race on a fast course and get an early season PR. We pride ourselves on running a professional and entertaining invitational. It is an opportunity for out-state, in-state, and local runners to showcase their early season talents in a large invitational atmosphere. We pride ourselves on being a coach friendly invitational with FREE entry for all spectators!
This year we will continue to make improvements that we feel will help runners, coaches, and spectators have a more enjoyable experience.
