It's one of the busiest weeks on the running calendar! The US Cross Country Championships are just days away in Portland, Oregon, the biggest professional cross country race on American soil in decades. Nine of the top 11 American men are entered. We break down who's running, who's skipping (and whether their excuses hold up), and make our picks. Plus: Jane Hedengren's BU 5K debut and NCAA record chase, Josh Hoey's 600m world record attempt, Quincy Wilson's over-the-top college announcement, Grand Slam Track on the verge of bankruptcy, and the controversial World Athletics Athlete of the Year picks that snubbed Beatrice Chebet.

Aletheia Run is sponsoring our US Cross Country coverage this week. Developed by sports scientists in Eugene after two decades of research, it's the only device that gives you a force portrait of your running form, detecting issues invisible to the naked eye. Personalized drills, targeted feedback, and real insight into your biomechanics. Try it free & save 10% with code LETSRUN10 https://www.aletheia.run/start-my-free-trial
