2022 HOKAPostal Nationals Promo After record participation in 2021, teams across the United States are ready to compete once again this cross country season
(EUGENE, OR) August 23, 2022 — RunnerSpace and HOKA® are excited to announce the 2022 launch of the ninth annual HOKA® Postal Nationals. From August 23 through October 31, cross country teams across the United States will race to compete for a national title.
Since reviving a tradition from the 1970s in 2014, HOKA Postal Nationals empowers high school cross country teams from every state to compete against each other in a timed two-mile race on the track.
The unique dynamic of varying distances and terrain in cross country races typically makes it hard to gauge relative comparisons, but HOKA Postal Nationals levels the playing field to rank cross country teams by having them race on the track. The times of each team’s top five finishers are uploaded to state and national online leaderboards powered by RunnerSpace, making the comparison of teams available.
In 2021, teams from across the United States competed for state and national bragging rights, with more than800 teams, a Postal Nationals record, submitting results.
On the girls side, Boise XC Club (ID) raced to a Postal Nationals record with a cumulative team time of 55:01, while on the boys’ side Conroe The Woodlands XC Club (TX) became the first team to win a second HOKA Postal Nationals title, with a winning team time of 47:33.
In addition to registering their team to participate in this year’s HOKA Postal Nationals, coaches can also register to host a Local Postal Event, where three or more teams participate in a coordinated race. For Local Postal Events, host coaches will receive a kit of supplies to help elevate the athlete experience.
All participating coaches who upload their team’s results to the official leaderboard receive a free pair of HOKA shoes at the end of the season.
