Summary

The event is held on Disney's Castatway Cay. There is no sign up. You run or walk and then get your medal which is rubber but still kinda cool. This is free of charge.

Castaway Cay 5k Review

My son and I ran the 5k around 9 in the heat of the Bahamas. It was his first 5k. Saw folks of all walks of life walking or running. In the end you get free merch consisting of a finishers medal which is actually rubber. It was a blast. Didn't care about any PRs, just fun.

I am blessed to be a pastor, husband, and father. I enjoy running. We only get one body, so I am trying to take care of it.
