CBR jogging.

I see there is a nice walkway around CBR that can be used for running. Has anyone run here, and if so what time of a.m. does it usually start getting to busy to use for running? Thanks.

I don't think it ever gets that crowded that you couldn't run.

You might have to watch out for families occasionally but it doesn't get too crowded that you can't get by easily. The earlier you run, the cooler it is.

May find some advice here http://www.disneyrunning.com/

I totally agree with safetymom and eeyore.

While there's no "bad" or crowded time of day, the only obstacle you'll really encounter are large families walking abreast of each other.

The path around the lake, Barefoot Bay, is a 1.4 mile circuit. My biggest difficulty was the change in climate. I was there in May (2005), and here in New Jersey it was spring-like weather, plus I run on a boardwalk right on the beach, which almost always has a cooling sea breeze. But May in Central Florida was in the upper 80s with 150% humidity.

I beat the heat by starting my run at the main pool, where my family was camped out for a while. It was nice to end the run at the pool.

the run does NOT include Triandad South

I have Old Key West to do next for my Disney walking section on my site, but I plan to do CBR in the upcoming months. That is one of the only resorts I've not done any real exercising at.

I personally really liked the path around CBR. Make your run longer by going to Trinidad South and back. Make your run even longer by exiting Trinidad south and going across the service road to POP. This is possible, but I would recommend going as early as possible in the morning. You can go out of Trinidad South onto the service road. Be careful where it interesects with the main road going into POP. Cross this road. Go up the hill and down the hill and you are in the back of the 50's parking lot near the lake. Pop is easy to find - just look for the big Bowling Pin Icons. You will have to stop running a bit while crossing the main roads since there are no shoulders and you have to walk on the grass.

also if you follow MEK directions - be very, very careful - the CM park here and some of them ever heard of the word 'slow'. and no I am not kidding - they can almost turn their car over taking that turn they are going so fast.

spicey cat -

I agree - you do need to be careful. CM's don't expect to see a walker/jogger. That's why you need to do this early in the am. Leave before 7am. I've done it a few times and it does make me nervous. But the first time I did this I thought POP was so cool. Cool enough that I decided to stay there the following year. Last year I did the trip to CBR in reverse.

Hey Cleve, let me guess, Ventnor or Margate? I just moved to South Carolina from Ocean City. Thanks everyone for the info., we decided to try CBR this next trip instead of POR. We really like POR but have stayed there twice and would like to try a new resort.
