Trayvon was staying at the other end of the block from where his body was found - in an walk through of the death scene, Trayvon's father said "70 yards to the back door."
From the clubhouse, where GZ first saw Trayvon to where the body was found is about 422 feet. The amount of time from when GZ said the kid was running to when the screams are heard on the 911 call is maybe a couple of minutes.
If Trayvon walked at a normal rate, that amount of time is not far off. According to the phone call with his girlfriend, Trayvon did no run the entire way, just far enough to think he'd lost the guy following him. He wasn't "hanging around" or back tracking, he was just headed home for the night.
