FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – North Texas cross country will compete in the 33rd Annual Chile Pepper Festival Oct. 1 hosted by the University of Arkansas with the women's 5k beginning at 5 p.m. and the men's 8k at 5:30.
"Chile Pepper is usually a great experience for the group," head cross country coach Matt Layten said. "We'll have a chance to see many teams from across the country on Friday, and we're excited to have a productive meet this week."
The Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival was created in 1992 to bring together three northwest Arkansas cross-country races under a single event – the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival, which is now one of the premier running events in America. The Festival united the Chile Pepper Run; the Arkansas Invitational, the annual Lady'Back and Razorback home meet; and the Fayetteville High School's Purple Dog Invitational. Now the Chile Pepper hosts approximately 6,500 runners and over 7,000 spectators each year and is one of the largest cross country festivals in the nation. More than $800,000 has been given to northwest Arkansas cross-country programs. $31,000 was donated in 2020.
