RE: Support for City of Spokane Valley to host 2026-2027 NCAA Regional Cross Country Championships
As Mayor of the City of Spokane Valley, Washington, I am delighted that Spokane Sports has proposed
our dynamic city to host the NCAA Regional Cross Country Championships for the 20262027 NCAA
Championship bid cycle.
Spokane Sports and the City of Spokane Valley are working to establish a brand new, permanent
location for a dedicated cross country site in our city. We have enlisted the expertise of professionals in
this field to provide technical guidance and ensure that the cross country site and course not only meet
but surpass the NCAA host requirements. Our new, high-caliber course is scheduled to open in the fall of
2025.
Spokane Sports has a long-standing reputation as a trusted host, having successfully organized major
championships in our region for over 35 years.
Spokane Valley is committed to the success of the NCAA Regional Cross Country Championships. On
behalf of the City, I enthusiastically offer our support and invite the NCAA staff, committee members,
student-athletes, coaches and fans to join us for this prestigious event.
Thank you for considering our proposal. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to showcase our city and
provide an exceptional experience for all involved.
Respectfully,
Pam Haley, Mayor
On behalf of the Spokane Valley City Council
