Commonwealth Park - 4.46 miles
This is probably the single most popular run at Tektronix. This run is just long enough to get some exercise without taking up a large chunk of the day.
This run basicaly loops around Commonwealth park and then heads back up the hill to Tek. There are a lot of ways to get to the park for this route start behind building 50, run on Tek property near Murray and get onto the bike path near Jenkins. Follow on the bike path for a hundred yards and then cross Jenkins.
After Jenkins, you follow a somewhat circuitous path through the neighborhood and drop down to Walker road. Be careful crossing Walker - in spite of the school zone some cars really fly though here.
From Jenkins it is a flat mile or so to the entrance to
commonwealth Park. The course takes one lap around the lake. I've run
through this park on just about every month of the year and I always
see someone out here at lunch.
Entrance to Park
The Pond. In summer it's amazing how much algee can grow here.
Some of the many many many ducks at this park.
