The Trojan Metric Trail is a fun and healthy way for the UALR campus community and University District residents to learn the metric system.

The trail(s), which cover two and three kilometers respectively, each begin at the Donaghey Center, but walkers can access it at any point on the trail. The trail is marked off in meters and kilometers, as well as yards and miles, to help walkers learn metric conversions. For those already walking regularly, the marked trail offers a chance for walkers to record the distance they’re walking around the campus perimeter.
