ROUTE

The 5-kilometer route starts at the Levine Science Research Center (LSRC) and meanders around Duke’s scenic West Campus. Runners will pass the Duke Gardens, Cameron Indoor Stadium, and the beautiful gothic architecture of the Main Quad. In April, the trees on campus are in full bloom and it is hard not to appreciate the natural beauty of spring in North Carolina as a celebration of Earth Day (View route HERE).
