My name is Chris Inch. I am a long-time cross-country coach in Michigan. My vision is to obtain 250-acres to build a national cross-country course. The course will attract the largest high school & collegiate meets in the state & country. The Midwest & Michigan are the epicenter of cross-country. Courses exist in Terre Haute, IN, Kenosha, WI and Columbia, MO. Why not MI? Ideally the course will be an hour from DTW, U of M, & MSU but not a deal breaker. Let's find a way to make this happen!
Preferred location: Allegan, Arenac, Barry, Bay, Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Clare, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Gladwin, Gratiot, Hillsdale, Huron, Ingham, Ionia, Isabella, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Lake, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Mason, Mecosta, Midland, Monroe, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oakland, Oceana, Osceola, Ottawa, Saginaw, Sanilac, Shiawassee, St. Clair, St. Joseph, Tuscola, Van Buren, Washtenaw, Wayne
