Competing at the Division I-FCS level, the Tigers represent the Ohio Valley Conference during the fall cross country season and utilize home venues throughout middle Tennessee for their training and competitive needs. The program's foundation rests within Tennessee State's historically significant role as a Historically Black University that has produced notable athletes and community leaders since its founding over a century ago.

The Tigers' roster development and recruiting efforts target distance runners capable of competing within both conference championships and potential postseason appearances. Nashville's location provides unique training opportunities across the city's varied terrain, supporting the endurance-focused demands of collegiate cross country training cycles that typically span summer through November competition.
