Vaughn's Creek, the Commodores' long-time cross country venue, is located in Percy Warner Park, Tennessee's largest municipal parkland. The challenging venue, site of the 1999 SEC Championships, is a well-kept, running-only route measuring 5k for women and 8k for men.

Warner Park, established in 1927, is an outdoor treasure located 15 minutes from the Vanderbilt campus. It features limited access woodlands and more than 10 miles of scenic running trails.

The park is bordered to the south by the historic Iroquois Steeplechase grounds, and to the west by more open space in Edwin Warner Park and the Harpeth River. The course is home to the Commodore Classic, an early season collegiate meet hosted by Vanderbilt athletics.
