Running in DLP (but NOT a RunDisney thread)

[Yorkieal]

Me and DGF are keen runners don't often go a morning without getting at least 5KM in before breakfast. We're staying at the DLH in October (although she's still not aware of this) and I'm wondering if it's a goer.

Would it be possible to get out of the hotel for a run early in the morning, through the village and around the lake, out to the Santa Fe etc? Say 5.30am?

Obviously they can't stop you leaving the hotel but I'm just wondering regards access to the Village as such an obscure time? Is it 'closed' (gated off) throughout the night? Can you go round to get to the lake? If we couldn't get through and would have to make do with a trot around the local roads (?!), if it was simply more trouble than it's worth, then we'd probably just give it a miss.

Ta!

As far as i'm aware they don't shut the village off at anytime so you should still be able to get access through it.

I have a map of the three routes (beginner, intermediate and expert). I can scan it and post it tomorrow for you. It was in a drawer in our room at the DLH. I do remember it saying something about 7.30am though but I imagine as Nikki said you wont have any problem going. Did my first 5k two weeks ago and although I had great intentions my running gear didnt make an appearance in DLP this week

Yes, that would be excellent please Kizabelle, much appreciated!

No problem!
It will be tomorrow afternoon as I'll have to borrow a scanner!

Plenty of people go for a run around the lake and along the river in the mornings before breakfast. For a longer run, head out of the main hotel entrance along the roads.

Remember it will be dark at 5:30am in October, depending on when you are going sunrise is between 7:50am - 8:20am (1st - 25th Oct) and then from around 7:30am from 26th Oct when the clocks go back.

Any chance I could get a copy of that map? I'm going in early October.
