Course Map
The 5K race starts and ends at the Western Avenue entrance to the recreation center and runs clockwise around the main campus.Major changes were made to the Campus Classic race course for 2012 to accommodate what has become one of the largest 5K races in Michigan.
About one-half of the 5K race route is on the West Campus Ring Road—Rankin Avenue, Goldsworth Drive, North Dormitory Road, West Michigan Avenue and Western Avenue, where the race starts and ends at the recreation center.
