I'm going to fulfill a lifelong dream next weekend and see a football game at Notre Dame (I know, they suck this year, but I've always wanted to go).
I'm looking to get in a decent run Saturday morning. Anyone have a 5-mile or so loop they can recommend, taking in a lot of the sights around campus, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
Really depends where you're starting from. A loop of campus is somewhere around 3 miles (depending where you go). The two lakes on campus are about 1 mile around (each). You can head over to the Saint Mary's trails (west of ND) if you want to get into the woods a bit.
Start at football stadium and run north towards touchdown jesus. Go to the left of the library and youll see a road running north/south. Continue on it North. When you get to the first intersection (second stop sign) take a left 100 meters down this road is the golden dome. Dont turn towards the dome continue along the road down a hill. 100 meters from the bottom of the hill the grotto is on your left. follow the road as it winds around the lake and take a right at the 1st stop sign. Cross the road at the stop light. You will now be on Holy cross campus. Follow the road and take your first right the road dead ends but there is a dirt path with railroad tracks on the left follow the path. When you come to the road take a right. Cross the road at the stop light. (back at ND) Follow the road unitl you reach the grotto and run past the grotto, run to the right of the golden dome and head back to library. Good luck with the directions but its About a 5 mile loop.
or just follow the road that runs by the dome all the way around campus and the grotto and run it twice. Thatll be about 5
Thanks!
