Castaway Cay 5K run start

[PrincessShmoo]

I have read some blogs where they said the age was 8 and was looking for other opinions. Didn't realize I wasn't allowed to seek out other peoples input on this topic... but thanks so much for being a decent human being and alerting me to the fact that you can never ask a question more than once on these boards. I am new and excited about my cruise forgive my inconsiderate reposting of a very innocent question. I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Sorry, wasn't trying to offend you. I just wasn't sure you remembered that you had the question already answered.

Hi gang. Just wondering, we are on the Fantasy coming up and All ashore time is at 9:45. Is that when the start of the 5K begins as well? I don't want to spend that much of my morning running in the event when I can be spending it with my family. But if it begins much earlier then I'm all in
Thanks

For the Fantasy this week we were to meet at 8; I think our ashore time was originally supposed to be 8:45 (we were unable to dock and ran on the ship instead--first I've ever heard of them doing this, and definitely a first for the port adventures staff who were heading us up!).

Im curious about the age limit for this run, i've heard conflicting things from different posts and websites. Does anyone know the minimum age to run? My 9 year old daughter is an avid runner and runs a 5k in under 27 minutes and really wants to do this run!

Yes, the age limit (10) is enforced in that she wouldn't be allowed to have a bib or a medal. Yesterday they were announcing this, and while they noted that that younger children *could* go ahead and run with their adults, they strongly encouraged an alternate plan.

Well I did the run...and I was glad I did. It was a cool, windy and rainy day so it made the run a little challenging because the wind would blow everyone back...but the temps were great so no complaints. I had a great time. I jogged 2 miles and walked the rest. The run didn't start until 10:12 but no big deal. With the weather conditions, my family and I stayed on the ship and watched The Good Dinosaur.....FYI: Tear jerker.
