Running from AKL

[lazarru]

We're going to staying at AKL in Dec. Need to be able to get about 20 miles in during the week including one longer run of 6-8 miles. Any one have any suggestions of where to run from AKL? I've seen a couple of web sites that list some areas to run but most are just a mile or so and none are around AKL. Any Ideas?

Thanks

since AKL is pretty much secluded and there is no jogging trail, your only option is the main road..... I think?!?!

I do not think you will be permitted to run on the main roads in DW. DH is a marathon runner and he was picked picked up by the Disney security. I think before the crack down on security they would let you run and just give you a warning but this past year he was escorted back to our hotel by security. They have jogging trails that are not 5 - 6 mile loops but if you do them a few times you can get your mileage.

Wow that's surprising. Did he have any best areas he liked? Since AKL is so away from everything I guess I'll have to goto the other areas to get the runs in

You might want to run at Coronado Spring Resort. It is the closest resort to AKL and it has a beautiful jogging path.

The lack of a place to run is why my DH prefers the WL over the AKL.

Here is a jogging map for the Epcot resorts. Three laps of the 2.4 mile course ought to work well for your long run.

If you are trapped at AKL it looks like they do have several decent treadmills in their exercise room. It's better than nothing!
