Hello Jennifer!
As a family who enjoys lacing up our running shoes for Turkey Trots, local charity races, and of course
runDisney events, we love the resort fun runs! We have participated in both the Southernmost Point Fun Run at
Disney’s Old Key West Resort, and the Seaside Sprint at
Disney’s BoardWalk Villas. I think the route around Crescent Lake at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas makes for a better run, but the water bottle you received for finishing the Southernmost Point Fun Run was a better prize!
Traditionally, the Seaside Sprint at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas is run on Friday mornings. The sad news I have to report is that these fun runs are not currently offered, and haven’t since the Walt Disney World Resort reopened in the summer of 2020. I do truly hope they come back at some point, but currently, there hasn’t been an announcement of when they will be returning. Your visit is still a few months away, and things can and do change, so I would recommend you ask the front desk about the event when you arrive. You can still go for a run on your own around the resort, and there is a map of the recommended
running trail found near the main pool. The Crescent Lake area is my husband’s favorite area to run at Walt Disney World, so even without an official fun run, I would still pack your running gear and enjoy a peaceful morning around the lake!
Please let us know if you have any additional questions as your trip approaches, Jennifer. I am happy to help!
