Family Fun 5K ???

[hezzie]

Trying to find out some information about the family fun 5K. Hoping someone can shed some light:
1. Is there an age limit on who can run? We have a 7 & 9 year old that would like to participate.

2. Is the cost per person or per family?

This sounds like a great time for the family and I think the kids would really enjoy it.

Thanks!

Thanks Kristi!

One more question....If we stay at the Swan/Dolphin, we can walk to the 5K, but what about the kids races at the Sports Complex. Will we be able to catch a bus to the complex? I assume, we'll have to go to the TTC to get the bus. We've never ventured over there.

Thanks!

My DD8 wants to do family 5k together also. If she keeps training and shows me she can maintain the 15 min pace, we'll be doing it.

I'm not sure if they are running special buses that weekend (kind of doubt it). But I think I read somewhere that you can catch a bus to WWOS from MGM. So, you could walk to MGM, and transfer to that bus there.

We always rent a car or have our own, so I've never had to do this.

DH & I are doing the 5k and DS is doing the kids race on Friday.

I'm wondering about busses too. We will be flying down for the Marathon weekend. I'm doing the 1/2 and am not worried about transportation but what about the 5K? I would like to do that with my son and the other people that are traveling with us. Would I be better off to stay at an Epcot resort and walk to MGM that morning??
