The Upstate Pathfinders is a not for profit club providing interesting walks available daily, at your pace, in many different Greenville area locations. Our Furman University walk features both 5k and 10k routes through a beautiful campus and on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The walk passes by the Carillon, Japanese Garden, and circles Swan Lake before the 5K returns to the start. The 10K continues past the athlete fields, stadiums, library and classrooms, McAllister Auditorium, and the winds back to Swan Lake before returning to the start point. This is a beautiful campus. Join us for lunch at the Monterey Restaurant afterwards
