The Notre Dame Invitational has a storied past. One of the premier cross country invitationals in the Midwest, the 8k course is fast and a great race to watch. The likes of Herb Lindsay,
Greg Meyer, Chuck Aragon all ran the ND cross country course.
The course also hosts the National Catholic Invitational, which I ran in 1980, 1981. From 21rst place, I watched John Gregorek and Chuck Aragon duke it out over the last mile in 1980. Now, as then, Coach Joe Piane (at ND since 1976 I believe), is a great host!
