Running routes at WDW

[dumbo_buddy]

Hi all!

I'm training for the Princess Half Marathon in February and will be going to Disney a few times between now and then. I'll be staying at the BCV and SSR for those trips. Does anyone know of good running routes? I don't see myself doing any of the long runs while on vacation but I would like to get in at least a few 3 or 4 mile runs before hitting the parks.

Does anyone have links to routes or the mileages?

thanks!!

BCV - http://beta.mapmyrun.com/route/detail/19940250/ Actually this run starts and finishes in the parking lot behind the BWV Guard shack. This by far is the 'best' run in WDW

SSR - http://beta.mapmyrun.com/route/detail/5375436/ This run starts in the paring lot of DTD... It circles through DTD and then through SSR for about 4.3 miles. Just start in SSR and follow this loop. It is really a great run in the afternoon. DTD can be crowded but the excitement of the area just makes the run a great experience.

thanks coach -

can you walk me through the boardwalk 4 miler? I'm having trouble following it since i can't tell how many laps that is (the blue lines intersect each other a few times). what do you do there?

i'll have to check out the SSR one too but i'll imagine it's the same thing.

i really like the mapymyrun site for mapping my own runs but i sometimes find it hard to follow when the runs are loops! lol!

thanks!

Have you seen this one? http://disneyrunning.com/wdwtrails.html

It's a collection of the printed jogging trail maps the resorts give out.

I'm not sure exactly how Charles route went but if you go to the link above and select the Boardwalk you will get a breakdown of some different distances and can build a route. The Boardwalk area is the best run on property IMO and my second favorite is going to Port Orleans and running the trail along the river. It isn't long so you will have to get in a couple of loops to get mileage in but it is a great run.
