Hi there, Alexandra! Thank you for running by planDisney with your question.
The
Castaway Cay 5K has evolved into a more laid-back, fun run over the years. There’s no set start time or countdown clock, making it a great event for beginning runners. Over the years, I’ve seen kids of all ages taking on the 5K.
Before you start, I recommend stopping by the Bike Rental stand. The team there will show you the course and answer any questions you might have about your daughter participating. Once you finish the run, return to the Bike Rental stand to collect your well-earned completion medal.
I suggest running earlier in the day when the temperatures are cooler and be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen. The course is primarily flat, but keep in mind there isn’t a lot of shade. You’ll also find water stations throughout the course to help you stay hydrated.
If you're up for it, along the back loop is an observation tower. Climb the stairs to enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the island—it's a perfect spot for a quick photo! There’s also a water station nearby.
Here's to a smooth run and a magical journey ahead. Enjoy every step of your Disney Cruise!
SEAS the adventure!
