Running at Disney resorts?

[Jennifer in MI]

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone has stayed at POR and can help me out here! I need some running routes there. I would like to know how far I'm running each day (I'm training for a race that will take place three weeks after we return home! I HAVE to run!!). I'd like a 3, 5, and 6 mile loop, if possible. Anyone know?

I would call the resort and ask for running information. Most of the resorts have walking & running courses.

Allears has a whole section on it: http://allears.net/btp/running.htm

We were there last October and are walkers. We read the allears article and found it very helpful.

Thanks for the allears link for running!

I typically race in a half marathon each month, so I'll also need to get in a least a few runs (maybe just 2-4 miles) on a few of our days. We'll be staying at BCV and there looks to be a nice running path around Crescent Lake and Y&BCV with nice views of Epcot!

This Google Pedometer Map may be helpful for you. You have to use the map to zoom into the area, but it's easy to find WDW!

I used it not for mapping out a running course, but to see how far I carried my sleeping 5 year old out of World Showcase to the bus stop on a hot August night. (2/3 of a mile! No wonder I was exhausted)
