The east flank of UVU campus — a second loop beside the published campus route, sharing its densest corner. 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 Caring for reference. The line runs UVU LDS Institute → UVU - CE Building and saves 830 m over the loop.
Verified. Every leg of this route was verified against on-the-ground path geometry — distances are accurate to within a few percent and the stop order is the true shortest loop for the mapped walkways. One heads-up on foot: the stretch between Caring and the UVU Entrance follows the edge of Campus Drive where no sidewalk is mapped, so keep to the shoulder there — and you can trim a little distance by cutting across the campus lawns and the Lot M20 parking lot instead of following the plotted walkways exactly.
Origin. Found as rank #5 in the PG-area route search: closed loops hitting 7+ gyms in a 30-minute walk, searched across a 10 km radius.
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.
