The Indoor Track and Tennis (ITT) facility is open to the public for walking and running, from 6 to 8 a.m., weekdays.
The track inside the ITT is 200 meters in circumference -- seven laps around the outside lane equals one mile. A surface of hard rubber covers the entire floor, including the track, and provides a cushion that can reduce stress on the body. The ITT is the only track in the area with such a surface.
Participants must enter and leave the ITT only through the glass doors at the facility's entrance and may not go beyond the ITT track area. Also, they will be required to wear clean shoes on the track and are encouraged to use proper footwear and change directions frequently while walking or running. The track will be monitored during the open hours.
Participants in the program will be allowed to park in the Ainsworth parking lot, provided they leave by 8 a.m. The parking lot is located on the lower section of College Lane.
From the South: Northampton is on Route I-91. Take Exit 18, and follow Route 5 north into the center of town. Turn left onto Route 9. Go straight through three sets of traffic lights, turning left into Smith's main entrance (College Lane) shortly after the third set. The Office of Admission is on your right, overlooking Paradise Pond. (Campus maps are available there.) Parking is available next to the office or along Route 9.
From the North: From I-91 South, take Exit 20, and follow onto Route 5 south into the center of town. At the intersection of Route 5 and Route 9 (Main Street), turn right onto Route 9. Then follow the same directions as above from Route 9 to campus.
