Video tour of Zimmer Cross Country Course
September 25, 2009 | Men's Cross Country
In 2009 the University of Wisconsin opened the new world-class Thomas Zimmer Cross Country Course at University Ridge. The course, located adjacent to University Ridge golf course on Madison's west side, offers challenging and exciting terrain for runners and elevated viewing areas for spectators.
UW's course features an exterior loop of approximately 2,500 meters and an interior loop of 1,000 meters. Both loops cover the area's rolling hills and valleys, while the outside loop also runs through a section of dense woods, which are aflame with color in the fall.
