Ahoy, Jessica! We're super glad you stopped by to visit us. Thank you for your question!
The Castaway Cay 5K has always been a favorite part of a stop on
Disney Cruise Line's beautiful private island,
Castaway Cay. If you've done it in the past, you'll remember that you had to sign up for the run, snag a bib, and meet as a group to start the run through the beautiful island path. While things may look a little differently now, you can still do the 5K!
The run is much less formal now, and you can choose to do the 5K at any time after you disembark your
ship at the island. You won't need to sign up in advance. The path is marked, so you won't have any trouble finding your way, and you'll still find water stations to stay hydrated.
When you've completed the run, you can go to the Bike Rental Station to pick up your medal. It's a bit of an honor system, but if you've done the miles, you deserve the medal! Pop on over and pick it up.
You'll have worked up quite an appetite, so after spending some time cooling off in the beautiful blue water surrounding Castaway Cay, don't forget to enjoy lunch at Cookie's Barbecue. I'm not a runner myself, but you will see me do a bit of a dash toward those ribs!
Have so much fun on your upcoming cruise, Jessica!
