Unique in its construction, the course has a 5K loop on grass that finishes just south of the starting line through a pitcuresque arch that has the words MSSU Cross Country going from pillar to pillar. 

The Missouri Southern Cross Country Course is the annual site of the Southern Stampede, one of the largest high school and college cross country meets in the midwest.
