Hello,
I will be staying on campus at the University of South Carolina (near the Five Points area) for a few days at the end of January. I am looking for some good 8 to 10 mile routes for easy runs and some tempo work (and to avoid road traffic and multiple stop lights on routes as much as possible). Bonus if you can advise if the nearest track is open to the public at any time. I would appreciate all helpful information.
Thanks.
Forgot to add, I won't have a car so all my runs have to orgininate from campus. Thanks.

One more bump.
35+ years since graduating,
But any loop in the Shandon neighborhood should work, wide streets, home to many races.
Carolina track should be open for use.
Shandon starts right up from Five Points.
Shandon neighborhood and out towards Lake Katherine are your best bets for runs if staying at the University. The University track will be open, not sue when the USC team will be working out but you should have no problem getting on it when they are not using it, it is not locked.
