Runcolo:
This year's course in Bend, Oregon was designed by trail/mountain/steeple great Max King and will be a difficult European-style course.
King is still legendary for his toughness 10+ years after getting out of Cornell and the course was inspired the old-school Jerry Smith. King: “Cross-country (racing) comes from a background of running through plowed fields, going down dirt trails and maybe even hopping over a couple of fences. Somehow we've gotten away from that. It's become more of a grass track meet.”
