The 22nd Knight's Invitational will be ran a week earlier this season due to scheduling conflicts. Usually ran on the weekend after Labor Day but now the weekend before in 2026. This invitational will give you an early season test on a championship course. The course layout offers a mixture of grass fields and wood chip trails with a large open starting area and a 300 meter straight-a -way finish. The course is very spectator friendly and is conveniently located just off both I-95 and Rt. 64 for easy access. This venue will be the host site for the 5-A and 6-A NCHSAA East Regionals in late October giving you a great opportunity to see the course in competition before the regional championship.
The Knight's Invitational is open to any 9-12 grader that is enrolled in a public school system. Entries are limited to 7 runners in Championship races while the Invitational races are unlimited entries. The number of schools participating will be capped at 30 teams per gender to allow for a safe and competitive race environment. Don't delay--register today!
