I-64 East to exit #136. FUMA is 17 miles south on Route 15. To get to the XC course, go past the main gate of FUMA, and just past the motel, turn left on Academy Road. After about a mile,you will be directed to field parking on your right, There should be XC signs out on Route 15 indicating the turn onto Academy Rd.
If you have never been to a cross country meet before, please take note that you are literally going to a FIELD. Be prepared to walk through the field from the car to the race. Bring your own chairs or blankets, drinks, food, etc. There is NOTHING there but a few porta-johns. Cameras and binoculars are great choices as well. Remember your stop watch or watch with a timer if you have one. Bug spray, and socks are recommended (chiggers). You may well encounter MUD so choose your footwear carefully.
Having said all of THAT, this is a good course to see the runners several times in the course of each race without having to go very far, and it's only about an hour away.
