The Greiner Family OSU Cross Country Course underwent a recent multi-million dollar renovation in preparation for the 2022 NCAA national championship races.

Oklahoma State University unveiled a state-of-the-art cross-country course in 2019 that serves as home to the OSU men’s and women’s cross-country teams, which recently underwent a major remodel to prepare for the 2022 national championship races. The course is named after Don and Shellie Greiner, as well as Don’s father Ken, who have been major contributors to Oklahoma State Athletics. “Our family has a long history with running sports and the Oklahoma State cross country course, dating back to my dad’s all-state days at Stillwater High in the 1950s,” said Don Greiner. “This gift combines that heritage, our love for Oklahoma State and our passion for running sports."

A key focus in the design of the course was sustainability, which can be identified in the athletes as well as the galvanized structures. Distance runners are known for their ability to sustain extreme levels of cardiovascular output for long-periods, which relates to the design of this course and its component's ability to withstand extreme temperature and climate changes while maintaining top corrosion-protection performance.
