Meet Information
The Knight's Invitational was held for 18 years prior to Covid19. Then, the construction of a new elementary school adjacent to the course put the meet on hold for a couple years. The 2024 version will offer a slightly different course but will have the same excitement, professionalism and competition as in the past. This venue has hosted the NCHSAA 2-A, 3-A and 4-A East regional championship meets, along with the Big East Conference Championship races. The course offers a mixture of grass fields and wood chip trails with a large open starting area and a 300 meter straight-a-way finish. It is great for spectators and conveniently located just off both I 95 and Rt. 64 for easy access.
This invitational is open to any 9-12 grader that is enrolled in a public school system. Entries are limited to 7 in Championship races, 7 in Invitational races and unlimited in the Developmental races.
Numbers may be adjusted if there is low participation in the developmental race.
