Explore Downtown Raleigh with Downtown Raleigh Routes - a series of self-guided walks and tours around downtown. Downtown Raleigh Routes kicks off with 1- mile and 3-mile run/walk routes beginning and ending in Moore Square where you'll find an Instagrammable start/finish line and a celebratory finisher's mural to get your photo in front of at the end! Use the maps below and follow the sidewalk decals for your route around Downtown Raleigh. Routes are accessible and for all ages and abilities.
Artist Mayanthi Jayawarena created "Wellness in Color" in Moore Square to celebrate participation in the Raleigh Routes run/walk routes. Mayanthi also designed the start and finish lines in the park. Mayanthi is an internationally recognized Sri Lankan-American artist and founder of Serendib Creative. She draws her unique style from her Sri Lankan culture and life experiences.
