Posted this in the running subforum but thought maybe it belonged here as well (mods, if you want to delete I understand!)

MAY 14

Are you ready to set sail on a Disney Cruise? Today, we are excited to invite you to join us at the Inaugural Disney Castaway Cay Challenge during the 2015 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend presented by Cigna!

This inagurual event will combine any eligible race during Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend plus the Disney Castaway Cay 5K during the January 12 sailing from Port Canaveral, FL on the Disney Dream, hosted on Disney Cruise Line's private island, Castaway Cay! Complete both races within the pacing requirements and you'll earn the Inaugural Disney Castaway Cay Challenge Medal in addition to your Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and Castaway Cay 5K finisher medals.


Which races are eligible, you ask? Any race that includes a distance of 5K or longer. So, complete the Marathon,Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, or either of the Goofy and DopeyChallenges, and you're eligible to enter the Disney Castaway Cay Challenge!


The race fee will include a race bib, t-shirt, 5k Medal, Challenge Medal and a post race refreshment. There will also be exclusive activities designed for runDisney guests, plus featured menu items and special merchandise, just for the cruise! The entry fee does not, however, include your cruise booking, which will have to be made separately through Disney Cruise Line.


Challenge registration opens Friday, May 23 at Noon ET. Complete details, including registration and booking procedures, are available now on the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend event page. We hope to see you sailing away this January during Inaugural Disney Castway Cay Challenge!

I thought of you when I saw this one!

I don't think they'll start charging for the normal one. That would be bad!
You'd think it would be right up my alley, but I don't love the idea, personally. :)

I hope you're right that they won't charge for the "regular" 5K!

If the CC5k was held about 2 hrs earlier I'd do it again. Until then I've run it & a medal isn't worth killing myself for the rest of the day. I'll watch the runners run & sip my drinky drink. ;)
My wife and I are doing the WDW 10k in January. 5 hours later we'll be boarding the Dream and staying in a suite. We thought about doing the Cc5k but then thought the beach and drinks were too powerful a force to ignore:)
