dateacher Posted October 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Someone told me they have half marathons on Castaway Cay. Does anyone know about these? I haven't seen anything on here about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCLCrazy Posted October 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2017 They have the Castaway cay 5k run. I’ve never heard of a half marathon though. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dateacher Posted October 27, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Do you sign up on the ship in advance or that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dateacher Posted October 27, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That's also probably why I couldn't find any info on it. By searching 5k, I got what I needed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCLCrazy Posted October 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Do you sign up on the ship in advance or that day? I believe you sign up once you’re on the ship in advance. Otherwise you’ll be signing up at 5am! :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellyc Posted October 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2017 They do have a Run Disney event once a year on Castaway Cay in conjunction with marathon weekend at WDW but it sells out immediately on the day it goes on sale. I have friends that have done it.. Its different than the 5K fun run.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCI Cruisers 004 Posted October 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Do you sign up on the ship in advance or that day? You can sign up at Guest Services once onboard, or at the pre run meeting the day of the race. If you are in Concierge, you can sign up thru the shore side Concierge service prior to the cruise or have the Concierge sign you up onboard.

If you are in Concierge, you can sign up thru the shore side Concierge service prior to the cruise or have the Concierge sign you up onboard. As part of reducing the lines at Guest Services, this sign up had been moved to the Port Adventures desk. So, if one doesn't work on your cruise, check the other! Also, the correct location is noted in the Navigator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dateacher Posted November 12, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted November 12, 2017 My adult kids did sign up for the race at CC. They did it the night before and it got them off the ship before everyone else. They got a cool medal too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ustasmom Posted December 26, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We weren't signed up in advance but you just had to show up early that morning to register and disembark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but signing up in advance helps the staff know how many "medals" to have available, etc. Also, the quality of the medals varies--right after the big one in conjunction with the WDW marathon, they had leftover medals made of metal..nice, high quality ones that were handed out for the next few cruises. After that, it went back to the plastic ones. I don't know what they are handing out now. You can also purchase a t-shirt with various print about the race. I've only seen them on Castaway though. Don't know if they sell them on the ships or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medal itself used to have the year on it (mine from 2015 is like this), the new design only has the year on the ribbon. It means they don't have to spend the additional money altering the medal design every year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
