The BYU campus core — engineering quad, Benson building, and the densest gym corner on campus. Exact shortest walking order on real path-network distances (BRouter), solved with Held–Karp and confirmed by exhaustive brute force. Every gym within ~1 km is plotted in red for context — zoom out to see them all.

Loop or line? The loop returns to the start; start at any gym — numbering is anchored at BYU Electric Blue Streamliner for reference. The line runs Juno → BYU Joseph F. Smith Building Fountain and saves 459 m over the loop.
Verified. We verified every leg of this loop against OpenStreetMap and the distances hold up — the longer-looking detours are real walks around buildings, since two of these gyms are exhibits inside the Wilkinson Center and the Crabtree Building. Note the Brigham Young statue currently sits at the edge of the Administration Building construction zone, so spin it from the adjacent walkway just like the route does.
Origin. Found as rank #1 in the BYU-area route search: closed loops hitting 7+ gyms in a 30-minute walk, searched across a 3 km radius around campus.
Method. Distances are the per-pair minimum of BRouter's hiking-mountain and shortest profiles plus a metric-closure pass. Gym data: PokeScrapper capture through 2026-07-07. Buildings and paths: OpenStreetMap.
