The IHSA Cross Country State Meets are run over a 3-mile course over a broad, fairly flat field at Detweiller Park, north of Peoria.

The course starts slightly downhill from the south edge of the park. The runners then make one nearly complete circuit of the field, ducking though some trees at the end of the lap into a separate field for about a half mile. Then it's back to the main field for another lap and half to the finish.

NOTE: The course is the same for both boys and girls courses.
