The greatest cross country race ever held was IAAF WXC Mombasa March 2007. Over 100,000 people showed up.

The most famous annual cross country race is the Footlocker High School National Championships held at Balboa Park in San Diego. The media numbers are astronomical for Footlocker every year.

100,000 Irishmen supported John Treacy when he destroyed the world at Limerick in 79

I won't say most famous, but one you will never forget is eastern state mental hospital at William and Mary

FRANKLIN PARK

Or Van Cortlandt, but that's new york so no

But Franklin park had world XC back in 1992, back when world XC was a legit competition.

It's also awesome

Portland Meadows

Sandelie Golf Course (very fast)

Sundodger (also very fast)

Rood Bridge is infamous in the Portland and Hillsboro metro area

What could be better than a course that includes a section like Franklin's called "Bear Cage Hill?"

Van Cortland's amazing history makes it a tough call. All the greats have run there.

Kinda surprised that Detweiller hasn't been mentioned more. Everyone who has said "it's not tough enough", go back and look at the original question. It's not about the toughness of the course, it's about which course is the most FAMOUS. Oh, and I'd say it was pretty tough this last weekend with the 3+ inches of rain that fell the night before.

can IL get some love for detweiler?

I agree with these three - and I have ran them all.
