Preserving a Legacy
The Manhattan College Cross Country Invitational is deeply rooted in the soil of Van Cortlandt Park. Our partnership with the Alliance ensures that these historic trails remain the premier destination for runners from around the world.
From the flats of the Parade Ground to the brutal incline of Cemetery Hill, we work year-round to protect the ecological and athletic integrity of the park.
