The meet was hosted by Michigan State College on November 27, 1950, at the Forest Akers East Golf Course in East Lansing, Michigan. The distance for the race was 4 miles (6.4 kilometers).

The team national championship was won by the Penn State Nittany Lions, their third. The individual championship was won by Herb Semper, from Kansas, with a time of 20:31.7.
