This NCAA Division II institution is located in Durango, Colo., the Shangri-la of off-road cycling, as evidenced by the five bike shops in the picturesque town of 14,700. "Within five miles of campus there are more than 20 very good bike trails," says Keith Darner, who has coached the Skyhawks to three national titles in the three years that a championship has been staged. Three of the sport's stars--Ned Overend, Juli Furtado and Missy Giove--live in Durango and are amiable enough if you can catch up to them. No need to worry where to store your bike: Dorm rooms come equipped with bike hangers.
	Oregon. Pre's Trail, dedicated to Ducks distance star Steve Prefontaine, who was killed in a car crash in 1975, offers five miles of running along the scenic Willamette River. The course is lit overhead and layered with wood chips underfoot. Or you can do an interval workout at Hayward Field, the cathedral of collegiate tracks. Keep an eye out for more accomplished joggers such as Olympians Vicki Huber, Maria Mutola and Mary Slaney.		Indiana. The Little 500 stands alone. How many other intramurals have inspired an Oscar-winning film (Breaking Away) and been shown on ESPN? For the 10th year, the Women's Little 500, which is half the distance (100 laps around the quarter-mile cinder oval) of the men's race, will also be staged.		Utah. Eight-session courses at Alta or Wolf Mountain are a bargain at $140, including lift ticket. Expert-level resorts such as Brighton and Ogden Valley--the latter a venue for the 2002 Olympics--are within an hour's drive of the Salt Lake City campus.
