Modified Bear Loop

Location: Although you can hop on to the loop at any point, it officially starts by the Baylor Science Building next to Bagby Ave.

Beginning at the Bagby Ave side of the Baylor Science Building, facing Bagby:

• Turn right and head towards Speight.
• Turn right on Speight and follow it until you hit 7th street.
• Turn right on 7th Street and follow it as it goes through the tunnel of Brooks Flats dorm
• After going through the tunnel turn right on Dutton Ave
• Turn right on University Parks
• Follow the dirt trail until you get to the Stream that enters the Brazos River
• Instead of crossing over the bridge on the sidewalk, go right and follow the sidewalk into campus
• Cross over the first (and only) foot bridge that you come to, between the Fine Arts building and the Baylor Science Building
• Once you cross the bridge take a left and go back out to University parks
• Take a right on University parks and follow the trail until you get to Bagby
• Take a right on Bagby and follow the trail back to the start of the loop

Length: 2.5 Miles

Type: Loop

Elevation Changes: This is a flat route. The biggest elevation change is about 10-15 feet.

Dangers: There are several intersection crossings that can be dangerous during the day, (or night).

Things to Look for: Running this route is a great way to familiarize yourself with the campus. The majority of the buildings on campus can be seen from the trail.

Environment: It's a college campus, so there's normally a lot of activity going on. It's not unusual to see a few fellow runners even at midnight.
