Oberlin College North Fields - Cross Country Course

To the north of Oberlin’s outdoor competition venues lie the North Fields, community fitness trail and cross country course. Over 70 acres in total, the area is home to practice fields for varsity men’s and women’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s cross country. Throughout the fall and spring, Oberlin’s club ultimate frisbee, rugby and soccer teams use the fields. Additionally, intramural soccer and softball are also contested in the area.

The community fitness trail was built in 2008 and renovated in 2012 with the college’s construction of the largest solar array on any college or university campus in Ohio. The wood-chipped trails include loops of 1-mile, 1200-meters, 1000-meters, and 400-meters. Both the north fields and community fitness trail are used as Oberlin’s home cross country courses that host both collegiate and high school meets.
