Oak Creek - 3.75 miles
A pleasant little run, Oak Creek, or the Creek Run, is a
shorter run often used for recovery and for introducing people to running.
Heading out west, from the claw, you go down Mayfield and then turn right on
Campus Drive and then left on Searsville Road. Travel on the path until you hit Sandhill
Rd. Turn left and travel for a hundred yards until you hit a dirt path on the
right, just before a small bridge. The path starts out narrow and runs to the
right of Oak Creek and to the left of a residence complex, sometime
disappearing onto parking spaces and then reappearing shortly afterwards.
Eventually, you will come to wider mulch trail, which still follows the creek
and dumps you out at a field with an intersection of Sandhill Rd. and Vineyard
Rd. on the other side. Follow Vineyard Rd past the mall until you hit a parking lot with
a fence at the far end. Cross it and head towards the Mausoleum. Run out from
behind it and go down the path (below) until you hit Palm Drive, which will take
you back to the center of campus.
