AKL Running Route

[jonnyc]

Hi all,

I'm in the midst of a health kick at the moment having lost 30 pounds so far. As I've gotten fitter I've began to incorporate more running into my work-outs so am keen to keep this up with some early morning runs when I visit the World in May.

I'll be staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge at Jambo house and was wondering if anybody has any good running routes (of around 3 miles) around the resort, maybe going from Jambo house to Kidani Village and back (as I read there is a walk-way between)?

On a side note, is the Basketball court at Kidani just for people staying in the villas?

There is a walking path that connects the 2 resorts, but it's well short of a mile. We've stayed at Kidani the past 4 years for the Marathon Weekend and its less than a 5 minute walk. I know Disney frowns upon running on the roads. I also know Kidani allows you to use the pool and other amenities at Jambo House, so I can't imagine not being able to use the courts.

I don't know about the AK area, but congrats on the weight loss! There must be sidewalks in that area. I hear that security doesn't like you to run on the streets. Here's a website for other areas.

Congrats on the weight lose. Keep kicking butt and report back and let us know how you do. We have a fun community in the section.

You can do the path between the two, but beyond that AKL really needs you to hop on the TM at either fitness center. Looping the path between Kidani and Jambo 6 - 8 times should give you around 3 miles.
