Ashton Cross Country Course
The championships will be held at the University of Iowa Ashton Cross Country Course, the new home for training and competition of the University of Iowa men's and women's cross country squads. The course is located west of Finkbine Golf Course, and adjacent to the University's West Campus project, which includes the Athletic Hall of Fame and soccer fields.

The course boasts a rolling terrain with an outstanding rhythm for running along with a large grass area for training and racing and is able to accommodate races of 5,000, 6,000, 8,000 and 10,000 meters. Features include a 2,525-meter perimeter and layout that permits spectators to view, from one vantage point, the entire race from start to finish. The inaugural coed event held on the course was the Iowa Invitational on August 29, 2003.

Former Hawkeyes, Bill and Jim Ashton made the leadership gift for the course. Bill graduated from the University's College of Engineering in 1962 and earned his master's degree in 1963. He resides in Davenport, IA while brother Jim, a 1964 graduate of the University’s College of Engineering, currently resides in Dallas, TX. The Ashton brothers both lettered in cross country under former Hawkeye men's coach, the late Francis X. Cretzmeyer, and made the lead gift for the course in his honor.
