"I had only hoped for a simple path through the woods. Now that it's finished, it's unbelievable."

   Claney Duplechin, Jr. 'Coach Dupe'

Episcopal High School Baton Rogue, LA

The Coach Dupe Trail offers a unique and challenging experience for the school’s cross country team and athletes. The trail begins by bringing runners through a 3-acre wooded area, taking advantage of the demanding terrain, before leading around the sports fields for extra distance and speedy straightaways. An entry plaza serves as a meeting space for classes and groups and also functions as a trailhead with informational signage and dedication plaques. The project was designed for the school, but also with the community in mind, so that all can come together to enjoy the trail.
