Going for a run while at AKV or AKL

[BlakeNJ]

Has anyone gone for a run while staying at AKV or AKL? I am used to running at SSR being a large resort with running paths. Any advice is appreciated!

I'm sorry to say that there aren't any good running areas at AKV. Some have reported that they run the perimeters of the parking lots. I know one couple who (very early, before traffic) would run to Sherbert Rd, down Sherbert and back. Other than that, they do have nice treadmills, or you can drive over to more run friendly resorts for your runs.

As the previous poster mentioned, you can run around the parking lots or in the excellent gyms. If you try and leave, you'll probably get yelled at by the guard - as the road outside the resort isn't set up for pedistrians. I'm pretty agressive about where I'll run, and I won't do it. It is possible to drive or take Disney transportation to places with good running.

In case you haven't seen this, here is a website that shows different running paths (with mileage) at WDW.

AKL/AKV's issue is simple: 75% of all the land there is taken up by the savannas, thus leaving little to stick any place to run. Basically, you can look forward to a quite boring run mainly circling parking lots.

I've run at AKL/AKV. There aren't very many places to run. I ran on the walking path from the lobby of Jambo House to the lobby of Kidani Village. I did this twice. Running between the two lobbies is 1/2 mile, so a run back and forth is 1 mile.

You're stuck with a treadmill or the path between the two buildings. Or driving somewhere else to run.

Thanks everyone! Looks like I'll just head over to SSR for a run.

Have a good run. You know you can run to the DTD Hotels, around DTD and down to OKW as well. My husband usually gets a longer run in when we stay at either OKW or SSR.
