Washington and Lee Cross Country Trails

At W&L, we have a tremendous trail system both on campus and in the town of Lexington for our runners to take advantage of. Click here to see a short video of a few of the PLACES WE RUN!!
 
 
The Dick Miller Cross Country Course:
- Located on the W&L campus, these maintained and dedicated trails offer a soft surface in a shaded environment to run on.  The course is a great mix of hills and flat loops with all natural surfaces. Click here for the course maps.
 
The Woods Creek Trail:
- Woods Creek Trail runs right through campus and throughout the town of Lexington.  The trail follows Woods Creek and is another great shaded place to run
 
Jordan’s Point:
- Jordan’s Point is a Park in Lexington with a variety of soft trails looping through the woods and along the Maury River.
 
Jacob's Ladder:
- A very hilly and challenging run which peaks at the top of a big climb…its worth the work once you get to the top with great views of the surrounding Lexington area.
 
Furrs Mill Road:
- Furrs Mill Road is a great flat run.  Easy to get to from campus it’s a favorite for an easy run day.
 
The Chessie Trail:
- The Chessie is a straight flat trail which runs along the Maury River.  The trail was converted from an old railroad bed and offers a great contrast to the hilly surroundings.   This is a popular place for a flat long run or tempo workouts.
