Carolina Godiva Track Club
The Carolina Godiva Track Club holds a weekly run in RTP on Mondays. Details from the Club's website are below:
Location: In a small lot between Radisson Governor's Inn tennis courts, the TTA bus station, and an office building. From I-40 take the Davis Dr exit. If you were on 40 West, turn left at the top of the exit ramp and then turn right at the next light into Park Dr. If you were on 40 E, go straight at the top of the exit ramp which puts you on Park Dr. Take the second right turn into the small parking lot. If you make it to the 4-way stop, you missed the turn.
Distance: 5 or 6.2 miles
Coordinator: Carolyn Huettel, 401-9589
Description: This run takes place on the paved paths in Research Triangle Park. It is a loop with a smaller "add-on" loop and/or "out and back". It is hot in the summer, so bring water to carry. It is dark in the winter, so bring your flashlight. Depending on the course you want, you can go from 5.2 to 6.1 to 7+ miles. The majority of the people who attend this run go between 8:00 - 9:15 minutes per mile.
Weekly runs are open to the public. If you'd like more information about any of the runs listed below, please contact the run coordinator.
