I'm the OP that asked about the running routes at OKW. Got lucky today and was able to book this weekend at BWV and BCV (we wanted to stay here only because it's such a short trip ,we'll only be visiting EPCOT and MGM for Osbourne lights) Anyway,thanks to all who suggested routes at OKW,now how about BWand BC?

I've seen on several occasions people running around the Boardwalk loop. I'm not sure of the distance, but it's fairly long.

Personally I'm a treadmill guy, as running gives me shin splints.

The official jogging map has a number of routes that are a bit short (and crowded) for many serious runners. It has suggests running a loop around on the Epcot Resort Drive - which has one narrow, trafficey tunnel I'd rather avoid.

There's a path down to MGM and back - which can be combined with loops around the Boardwalk and another around the Swalphin for a few miles. If you want more - there's a sidewalk that goes down to CBR - down there, around CBR and back adds a good number of miles.

How many miles did you have in mind?

BWV has a nice gym with lots of treadmills. It's on the ground floor, make a left off the elevator, when you get to the outside door, look to the right. Happy running.

You can do the inner loop at the Epcot resorts and the outer loop (just be careful going under the bridge to Epcot from BCV to BWI. You can add the stretch to Epcot and to Disney Studios. There are steps up to the outer sidewalk near the walkway to Disney Studios just before you go under the road near Disney Studios.

I run the loop around the BWV/BC area whenever I'm there. Caskbill measured the distance and it is .79 of a mile around Crescent Lake. I also run over to the MGM Christmas tree on the path behind the BWV's. I never could remember the distance but I think he measured it out at .66 of a mile from the Luna Park Pool to MGM. It seemed about that distance when I just ran it a few weeks ago. Add or subtract a little depending upon where you start.

I usually do two laps around the Boardwalk starting at the Screen Door Store. I cut behind the Boardwalk Villas after my second lap to MGM at the bridge to the Swan/Dolphin, run to where the MGM Christmas tree is now, back ot the Swam/Dolphin bridge and then one more lap around the Boardwalk. Based on the time (and Caskbill's measurements) it seems like it's about 3.75 miles.

Have fun. It is a great place to run.

okay not sure what you are talking about with under the tunnel maybe they have changed it.

but before the outside route - when all around the resorts except BW. came back down behind the Swan - they could have changed it - this was years ago.

You can also jog the boat route from Mgm to Epcot.
