The Greiner Family Oklahoma State Cross Country Course is the home of the Cowboy Jamboree, one of the nation's oldest races. Since its inception in 1937, the Cowboy Jamboree has offered over 6,000 runners the chance to run on one of the greatest cross country courses in the country.
As Oklahoma State prepares for the 2024 Cowboy Jamboree on September 28, the schedule is as follows: the gun will sound for the women's 6K race at 8:15 a.m. CT, followed by the men's 8K race at approximately 8:45. Immediately following will be the boy's 5K at 9:30 a.m. and the girl's 5K at 10 a.m. The awards ceremony will follow the girl's race at roughly 10:45 a.m.
The Greiner Family OSU Cross Country Course underwent a recent multi-million dollar renovation and successfully hosted the 2019 Midwest Regional Championships, 2020 NCAA Cross Country Championships, 2021 Big 12 Championships, 2022 NCAA Cross Country Championships and 2023 NCAA Midwest Regional Championships.
In the beginning, the course was only two miles in length but has now grown into a 10KÂ trek. The course is a 5KÂ loop that is run twice for major championship races. One of those is the Midwest Regional Championship, which was held on the Jamboree course in 1996, 2003 and most recently in 2008. The course also hosted the Big 12 Cross Country Championships in 2010, 2015 and 2021.
The course itself is grass, making for a soft surface for the OSU barriers to train on year round. The rolling hills give it an added element that makes the course perfect for training in many different scenarios. The many features of the Greiner Family OSU Cross Country Course help runners experience a course that is challenging and unique at the same time. Another characteristic which sets the OSU course apart from any other in the country is the fact that it is one of the few courses actually located on a college campus, which is only a half mile from the track and cross country locker rooms, providing easy access to a great running experience and also optimal conditions for workouts.
The Cowboy Jamboree has grown to the point where it is now one of the largest non-championship races held in the country with hundreds of teams and thousands of participants. Over 80 college and university teams competed at the Jamboree in 2010, and with the traditions that have been passed down over the years the Cowboy Jamboree will continue to be one of the best and longest running cross country meets in the country. One of the main goals of Oklahoma State University and the cross country coaching staff is to continue the experience that so many runners, coaches and spectators have experienced for decades and to continue those traditions for many more years to come.
