Returning to Ship on Castaway Day?

[LorrieAnn5]

Did you run the “fun run” or the challenge one? We remember it as out to air strip, around loop, turn right and head down to Serenity Bay, U turn, go back around loop a second time, then back to bike rentals. We always get 5k and that’s how we ran it when it was organized. I don’t remember staircase at the lighthouse on the course.

I ran the fun run, this was in August 2024, so no option for the real organized challenge, you're remembering it mostly correctly, and what you said is what I did. I was trying to get a 5k PR on my Garmin so I needed to run the full 3.1 miles, and the finish sign only got me to 3 miles. If you take this little tiny extra path to the bottom of the stairs during one of the loops. I think that would have made the full 5k.

The Challenge has been run following Marathon Weekend (maybe Princess too?) where there was an official 5K (timed and measured) for those who had paid and registered as part of registration for the race weekend and booked the cruise.

It was only following Marathon Weekend. They haven't done that in a few years, though.
