In all, four different titles were contested: men's and women's individual and team championships.[1][2]

Held on November 20, 2006, the combined meet was the third of eight consecutive meets hosted by Indiana State University at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Indiana. The distance for the men's race was 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) while the distance for the women's race was 6 kilometers (3.73 miles).
