I did a google search for "running routes in Wisconsin Dells" and found quite a few routes that were posted on dailymile.com so we decided to follow one that went around Lake Delton, the route posted it was just over 6 miles so that was the perfect distance and it seemed to go right by our hotel. Turns out it was over 7 miles because our location on the main drag was further North from where the dailymiler poster had stayed. We ran this route on Tuesday and today and today I brought along my phone and snapped a few photo's at each mile marker. The whole route was rolling hills so it was a challenging run but in a good way, I liked that between each hill there was ample time to recover from the climb and there was always a downhill or vice versa, depends how you look it, what goes up must come down after all.
Start-Mykonos Village, Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park |
Mile 1-Still on the main drag-Wisconsin Dells Parkway |
Mile 2-Still on Wisconsin Dells Parkway but going in a different direction (see garmin map) |
Mile 3 (actually about 3.5)-and finally on a different more secluded road-Canyon Rd and along the lake |
Around Mile 5ish-still giving the thumbs up! |
Mile 6-on County Road A and the edge of the Lake. |
6.5-It was very humid today so we stopped for a water at the Bait & Tackle |
Ohhhh water tasted ohhh soooo gooood! |
Mile 7-On Lake Ave and right by Noah's Ark and only a 1/2 mile to go! |
The End-Sweaty Messes! |
Kudos to you running on vacay! You made some good points (ie. better food choices knowing a run will be involved, etc...). You are making me miss Wisconsin!!! Now in Maryland, I'd love to be back in the midwest! There's just nothing like the folks there!
ReplyDeleteI love vacation runs! The Dells look so neat to run. Wish my man was a running partner like Matty is for you!
