Where at Duke is the Blue Devil?

With the hot summer nearing its end, Flat Blue Devil decided to visit the Al Buehler Cross Country Trail just off West Campus. It's named after famed Duke coach Al Buehler, a Duke Hall of Fame inductee and coach to numerous All-American athletes and Olympic competitors.

The trail is a popular spot for Duke community members and the Durham community to exercise and enjoy nature. The Duke Run/Walk Club hosts weekly meetings at the trail in the fall and spring. The gravel running and walking course is located around the perimeter of the Washington Duke Golf Course. Although not technically part of the Duke Forest, the trail is maintained by the Office of the Duke Forest.
