Neighborhood Walks 

At Luther Seminary, we're big on walking. We have a large and beautiful campus tucked away in a delightful neighborhood with plenty of routes that make for a pleasant walk.

We sent out some enthusiastic Healthy Leaders walkers to map out some of their favorite walking routes and, wearing pedometers, they found out how many steps they were able to chalk up toward their daily goal of 10,000 steps. (All routes begin and end at the Olson Campus Center.) Click on the thumbnails below for bigger, printable maps of these routes:

The Southern Hills 2400 steps 1 mile	The North Hood Easy Beat 2900 steps 1.3 miles	The C-street Circle 3200 steps 1.7 miles
The South Hood Stride 4500 steps 2.1 miles	The Lauderdale Lap 6000 steps 2.8 miles	The Big E 6800 steps 3.2 miles
The University Triple Loop 7500 steps 3.5 miles	The Meta Meander 6700 steps 2.8 miles	The Mega Meta 8800 steps 3.7 miles
