Best in Your Area: 127

The stretch of road from St. Johns to Clare is truly Michigan’s XC heartland. The region is home to some of our best small town running cultures: Ithaca, Shepherd, Breckenridge, to name a few. In Shepherd, you have the best course in Michigan. Ithaca, the best coach’s TikTok account. Breckenridge’s trophy trailer will be hauling more metal this fall. Sacred Heart has been dominant during the past 10 years, St. Louis seems to be on the rise. Need I go on?
