Running Routes

Roadrunner Routes

Good running routes have flat footing, minimize unprotected intersections with vehicles, are easy to remember, and work well with large groups. Roadrunner routes start at Sertoma Park and use the well-known streets, trails, and hills of Provo to give variation and enrich the specific type of workout (e.g. threshold run, strength run, speed workout, long run, recovery run).

Warmup Loop and Start

Roadrunners meet at Sertoma Park for a Warmup 1/2 Mile Loop (Red Dashed Line) and dynamic stretching. 

Route Legend

Routes are loops or out-and-back. The name of the route is listed with the total distance in miles. The out-and-back runs are variable length, depending on the capability of the athlete. For many group runs, the team "snowballs" back where slower runners join the group that is doubling back on the route.

South Provo Routes

South Provo routes are flat with relatively few hills. The routes inspire Roadrunners as they run by BYU athletic facilities and often see cross-country and track athletes hard at work. There are 3 track facilities within 1/2 mile of each other with BYU Outdoor Track, BYU Indoor Track, and the Old Provo High Track.

North Provo Routes

North Provo routes are variable in length from Neighborhood run (1 mi) to River run (6.5 mi). Routes to the East are hilly as runners ascend towards the Bonneville Shoreline. One of the favorite North Provo routes is Lover's Lane. It is a 1.5 mi soft surface nature trail that has shade, fairy gardens, and an unpaved surface. Development plans are underway to extend Lover's Lane along the Timpanogos Canal Trail.
