Its definitely worth doing at least once. It's great way to explore the island. The course itself is flat and shade is really hard to find especially going in and back from the runway. We would have probably never went out to that part of the Island if it wasn't for the 5k. It is definitely not a typical RunDisney race, no characters or on course entertainment. Registration is free and you get a medal when you cross the finish line. We will definitely do again on our next cruise in November.Leaving for our cruise in 14 days and thought about doing the 5K ( walking of course ). Can anyone tell me a little more about it please. Is it worth doing it at least once ?
Thanks for the info !.. Planning on doing it on Monday the 10th . Just hoping the weather cooperates on out double dipping . Will update this when I get back in case anyone else needs anythingWe just got back from our 5 night double dipper at CC. We did the 5k on day one and they estimated about 300 participants. I don't know if that's the case, but there were a lot of people. More than I have ever seen.
A lot of people were mumbling/grumbling about that. It would work if there weren't a mix of runners and people that weren't participating. That path is narrow at points. It's a good warmup anyway! What's an extra 1.2 miles amongst friends when you are already running three?We did it. It was a nice experience. Not sure why they make you walk the 1.2 miles to get to the starting point. They used to do the tram. I feel the 1.2 miles,to get to the start should already count. For real.
Two years ago they did tram people in.A lot of people were mumbling/grumbling about that. It would work if there weren't a mix of runners and people that weren't participating.

Really? I've cruised in 2013, '15, '16 and last month. They made us walk every time. As I said, it's a good warmup.Two years ago they did tram people in.
Sorry to bump this old thread.
We are doing our first 4 night cruise next year with a stop at Castaway Cay which is in fact on my 32nd birthday.
I'm deciding whether it's something I want to do to say I've done.
What time does the run usually start?
Can family come off the ship with you to wait at the finish line?
Generally, if your jogging, how long does the run usually take?
Does it cost money to do?
You'll met with the other runners around 8:15-30 and walk off the ship together when the all clear is given. Then figure a 20ish minute walk to the start line and a few more minutes for the CMs to ready the start.What time does the run usually start?
YES!Can family come off the ship with you to wait at the finish line?
Depends on your definition of jogging ;-)Generally, if your jogging, how long does the run usually take?
Nope! And you get a finishing "medal" when you're done.Does it cost money to do?
And you get a finishing "medal" when you're done.
Thanks very much for the info.
I'm thinking that if I get room service for breakfast and family carry our stuff for Castaway Cay, I run the marathon and should be done by around 10-10:30?
Is there anywhere to refresh/shower without going back to the ship?
I really want to do this but also not take my whole day up doing it.
