Grace Cross Country Looks to Continue Strong Success in 2026 - The Official Site of the Grace Christian University Tigers Wyoming, MI - As the calendar turns toward another fall season, excitement is building around the Grace Christian University men's and women's cross country programs.

Our 2026 race schedule has been released! Our Tigers will once again kick off the season at Central Michigan University, make a return to racing in the Spartan Invite at Michigan State University, and travel to Minnesota and Missouri for the NCCAA Regional and National Championships. The season really kicks off with the team's cross country camp and the Crystal Lake Team Marathon on Aug. 7-8th! The team is ready and excited for the upcoming year!

New cross country uniforms are going to drop this season! Only 16 more days until the team rolls out for the season with their annual camp!

Ian, Nat, and Tonks checked in from Mears, MI the other day! Ian has been doing a great job getting his summer training in while working at Grace Adventures as a camp counselor! Tonks is our official team dog, even if she lives in Minnesota now. 😁

Recently, we got to celebrate our very own Nat Mercer's wedding with a special ceremony held here in Michigan (actual wedding was in Minnesota). It was a wonderful evening full of smiles and it's always nice to get some of the team back together in the middle of summer! 🙂
