Lake Norman YMCA - Oakhurst Route

Today's running route is another option if you're using the Lake Norman YMCA as your base. It covers the outskirts of the Oakhurst and adjoining communities in Cornelius. All streets are marked with signs, and there are sidewalks throughout the course. Be aware of automobile traffic when crossing streets.

Start by going south on Church St., crossing Catawba Ave., winding around Oak, Hickory, and Tryon Streets before going right on Washam Potts Rd. Continue on Washam Potts all the way to Oakhurst Blvd., and turn left. Take Oakhurst Blvd. and turn left on Coachman's Trace. Right turn onto Meadow Crossing Ln.

At that point you'll find yourself on Hwy. 115/Main St. Go left and continue north for over 1.5 miles. Turn left onto Cornelius St., go a block, and you'll find yourself where you began.
