What are the walking jogging option in and around Riviera?
Can you walk from Rivieria to CBR?

You should be able to run around the lake.

I’m an avid runner and am happy to report that both Riviera and CBR are great for running. A path runs continuously around the lake there, and there is even a running map sign at Riviera near the path. If I recall it was 1.2ish miles per loop. A beautiful run really—and much nicer than going through parking lots and garages at AKL.

edit to add—yes you can walk easily from Riviera to CBR via the path. This opens up several additional dining options, and the pool at CBR is really neat too.

No, Disney doesn’t provide sidewalks on public roads.
The longest Skyliner leg is Riviera to Epcot.
When the Skyliner is open you can take that’s to Epcot IG and then walk to any Epcot resort....but despite signs saying the Epcot line ran 7:30a-10p, on Monday at 8:20a they would’t allow me to board a Skyliner from CBR to Riviera since Epcot wasn’t open, yet.

I am a runner and walker, and one thing I was pleased with at Riviera was the great running abilities around the lake and through Caribbean Beach. I imagine putting together a 5 k run in a couple of laps would be quite easy, adding in a detour through CBR.
Alternatively go to Epcot- takes about 10 mins max on Skyliner but may not be running early enough, not sure. If you run three times around the lake there, with 1 detour up to Hollywood Studios and back, it’s about 5k. Each circuit of Crescent Lake there is 1.2k I measured it on my GPS watch.
Riviera gym also looked OK, but the usual lack of running machines which all resorts seem to suffer from and in bad weather they often all get taken. Luckily this will not be an Animal Kingdom situation where they are taken all the time due to lack of outdoor running area. My wife and I do not like AKL for this reason. As above, desperate runners are seen running up and down the car park there.
