"Real" cross country races- not road races.?

Question:Does anyone know of cross country races (preferably in the midwest) that are actually 'cross country' and not road races. I ran cross country in hs and college and miss the off road, through the mud and water sort of races! I can't seem to find any for adults. Anyone know of any?
