Best Campus for Runners

Western Washington University and the University of Washington. WWU has a much better trail system and an amazing view of the bay. UW is just a nice campus in general with some amazing scenery.

Eastern KY Univ.

iona

just kidding

It certainly ain't Malone. Downtown C***on - what a crap hole location.

Actually Malone isn't that bad...They're not far from the Ohio -Erie Canal towpath and Cuyahoga Valley...Malone is actually located in a nicer section of Downtown Canton...more historic homes and a relatively safe area...Now if it were down on Cherry that would be a different story...

There is no run on this earth more satisfying than Hippo-Access.

We are talking campus, slappy. The towpath is probably a 1/2 hour drive and the Cuyahoga Valley is well over 45 minutes to an hour drive. Sure, they can run on the rubberized surface of the park a mile plus away but, try to stay with me, all have nothing to do with the Malone CAMPUS.

G'ville Baby!!!!!

University of Southern Indiana.

Summers are brutal, but the other 3 months are great. 10+ Miles of trails (on campus), miles of country roads south of campus, and Los Bravos. Can't beat the Brav after a long run.

Morehead State University

Southeastern University. Just Ask Cassidy

Not many CAMPUSES in OHIO are good for running. Akron (ghetto) OSU (ghetto) Cinnci (Ghetto) YSU (Ghetto) Kent (not much there but the f***ed prom queen) Tell me one university in ohio that has trails or anything right there? The only ones I can think might possibly would be Miami or OU and as we all know...OU doesn't cater to runners to well anymore...

Nicest I have been on is Sewanee: The University of the South, with trails that go on forever atop the Cumberland Plateau in TN.

How many months in the year are there in Indiana??

BTW, it's still in Indiana.

Can't believe no one has said Northern Arizona yet. Awesome trail system runs in almost every direction from the campus.

the OP was looking for schools besides the regulars (oregon, CU, NAU, etc...)

I've only run there twice, but Princeton was a lot of fun.

Um is correct. They can cross the street and run at the bluffs park across the street for short runs and that is nice. But they got tons of great trails close by.

Soka is nice and they got great trails very close by.

UC Irvine but whoever put the track where they put it didn't think about the wind and they have built up the hills around the campus so there are fewer trails than there used to be.

Gettysburg College - hundreds of acres of battlefields and trails to run on.
