Yes they do. It goes around the outside of Old Mans Island. You can jog down to French Quarter as well.

oh yes, I was over at Port Orleans exploring the resort in December, and there is a path all around POR and the FQ, you can run along the Sassagoula River, it is beautiful!!!!!!

They have a map at the resort, ask when you check in. I think the path is either 1 or 1.5 miles around.

Have fun!

The route by the river that goes over to POFQ is a very popular one with runners. One year I was there just before Marathon Weekend, and every morning there would be groups of runners who ran that path together. When I say groups of runners, I don't mean runners who came in the same group, but runners who, by word of mouth, knew to get together in the morning at a certain time and run together. I thought it was pretty neat to see!

One thing I'd like to add...

When jogging... PLEASE use some common sense...

ALWAYS use sidewalks and pedestrian paths!!

NEVER EVER jog on a roadway!!!! Disney roads are VERY busy, and it can be very dangerous. I can't tell you how many people I've nearly run over in my bus because they were jogging in the middle of a road, and I couldnt see them as I came around the corner till it was almost too late.

Another word of caution --
If you see a sign warning guests the birds may be nesting and aggressive -- take it to heart.
DH was running the path around/through POR early in the morning when we stayed there the last week in May '02.
A bird purposely flew into him and smacked him in the back/shoulder area. It didn't hurt too bad, but did sting, and stunned DH.
He thinks it was because he was running that the bird attacked him.
