The Roanoke cross country teams use Mowles Spring Park as their home course. With wide-open areas, the park is able to accommodate large meets and has the space available for the teams to alter the courses. The Maroons held their first home meet at Mowles Spring Park in the fall of 2006, after spending many year’s at the college’s Elizabeth Campus, and has been the cross country team’s home course since then. Mowles Spring Park, which has a variety of terrain, is located about 12 minutes from the main campus.
