Competing in the FCS classification, the program draws from a student body spread across the university's main campus in southwestern Montana.

Cross country at Montana State emphasizes the endurance demands of distance running within a conference that stretches across the Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountain region. The Big Sky Conference championship remains the primary objective, with qualifying performances at regional championships determining postseason advancement. The program's fall schedule typically includes invitational races throughout September and October before conference competition in early November, establishing a traditional calendar aligned with NCAA Division I standards for the sport.
