Serious Runners: Where do you run at the resorts?

[Ned Land]

I have run from WL into FW and the Boardwalk area, but this next trip we are staying at CR and GF. I know GF has a short running option, but was curious to know where people go for long runs (6-10 miles) on the WDW property.

Is there a fee to use treadmills at GF and CR?

Guests of a resort have complimentary use of the health club facilities at that resort during their stay.

My DH is a serious runner--Mr. Marathon. He generally runs in the very early morning, starts between 4:00 and 5:00am, sometimes as late as 6:00am while on vacation.

His favorite run at WDW is a loop around the lake by the BW/BC/YC, then down to MGM studios and back. It's got a few small hills, very few sharp turns, and there's no one around early in the morning.

The CR isn't going to be the greatest place for running. At the GF you can run along the lagoon towards the PR, then pick up the running path that takes you through that resort, to the TTC and back again. He's not real big on running through the PR though, there are several tight turns and narrow paths, and lots of pedestrians. He prefers just back and forth along the lagoon.
