What is the Best Cross Country Course in Missouri?


After taking nominations over the past, we have narrowed the contenders for best cross country course down to four. The top courses nominated were the Gans Creek Championship Cross Country Course in Columbia, Ray-Pec High School Cross Country Course, Camdenton High School's course at Ha-Ha Tonka State Park, and Tom Rutledge Cross Country Course at Missouri Southern in Joplin.

Those courses overwhelmingly received the bulk of the nominations, but we will also give honorable mention shout outs to the next closest finishers which are McNair Park in St. Charles (a personal favorite), and Forest Park in St. Louis.

Below you can vote in both matchups before the finals next week, and look at course maps if you aren't familiar with the courses! Special thanks to Coach Glen House at Northwest High School for putting together the course maps.
