Running at The Contemporary and AKL

[eeyoresmom]

I usually don't run while at Disney but this is a cool weather trip and I want to get some short 2-3 mile runs in most day. We are staying 5 nights at BLT and 4 at AKL Jambo. If I remember correctly, the only possible run at AKL would be down to Kidani and back, is this correct? Any advice on this resort or Contemporary? TIA

I found a map of a running trail for Contemporary, but not AKL.

Thanks for that. I'll google maps for BLT also. I'm assuming I could run along the walking path to MK ( really early in the morning). Not holding out much hope for running at AKL though.

That is an older map. The North Garden Wing has been replaced by the Bay Lake Tower. I did some morning runs during our stays at CR and in the early morning, was able to run past MK until the walkway ended at the canal between GF and MK.

I'm not a runner at all, but if I were this sounds like a very nice place to do it.

Any idea about how long that would be out and back?

I can only estimate. If you started from the main entrance to CR and ran past MK to where the walkway ends at the canal it's probably between .6 and .75 miles one way. Not very long to be sure, but a nice route very early in the AM.

Thnks again. I will be starting out at BLT so maybe a little shorter distance than your estimate. Will have to figure out a way to add some distance unless I do it twice. OR, I could just have a second cup of coffee out on the balcony

Yeah, I usually run much longer distances too, but hey, you're on vacation and will be doing plenty of walking as well. I just count my shorter vacation runs as maintenance workouts and try not to be too concerned about it.
