This is creative and original, A.J. To bring together mazes with running seems to be a thought combination that most of us have never made. In order to better understand precisely what you intend, I have two questions: First, how large physically do you anticipate the right-sized maze to be that you'd use for runners? I suppose that it would have to be large enough to challenge serious runners, but not so large as to frustrate lost runners attempting to figure a way out and who might literally be running in circles.
Second, I imagine that you'd have to make scale adjustments to the maze that you've used as a course for children to walk through. That is, you can make sharper turns when you're walking than you can when running, so the pathway twists would have to be shaped more broadly for runners in the maze that you'd like to design.
All in all, this is a clever concept!
