Where The Boys Ran: The Trails Featured In "Running With The Boys"
Mapping out where the NAU Lumberjacks trained in our docuseries Running With The Boys.
One of the cooler features of our recent series following the Northern Arizona men’s cross country team, Running With The Boys, was the inside glimpse at many of the unique places where the Lumberjacks train. Our cameras followed Mike Smith’s team from the mountainous trails of their home base in Flagstaff, Arizona, to their workouts on the road before and after meets in Madison, Wisconsin, and Terre Haute, Indiana.
With the help of Google maps, now you can recreate these runs on your own. Here’s where the runs featured in our series took place:
