Loop or line? The loop returns to the start; start at any gym — numbering is anchored at Community Congregational Church for reference. The line runs Super Mario Art → Sodalicious and saves 393 m over the loop.
Verified. Every leg of this route was checked against the actual sidewalk-and-plaza network: distances match the drawn paths, and all crossings of University Avenue, Center Street, and Freedom Boulevard land on signals or marked crosswalks. One quirk to know: The New Nuskin gym sits at the south plaza entrance of the Nu Skin headquarters building, so the route approaches it from the 100 South side — you can't cut through from Center Street, and the extra walking there is real, not a routing error.
Origin. Found as rank #2 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.
