Approximately how long should it take a person to walk the Castaway 5k?

I walked the 5K in December while on the Magic. I'm not a fast walker and I finished in about 50 minutes.

I did it in July in 45 minutes at a semi-brisk walk. Definitely under an hour I would think at a normal walk.

Obviously there are a lot of individual factors here (age, fitness, weather, height), but according to wikipedia (among other sources), typical average walking pace is about 5 km/h. The castaway route is very flat, so terrain should not be an issue. Heat could be a factor, depending on the day.

And if you don't want to do the full 5k, don't enter the bicycle loop the second time.

Walking a 15 minute mile is a nice brisk pace. That puts you at 45 minutes. You need to take into account the heat and your overall health, but anywhere from around 45 minutes to an hour. All depends. it's all good

My husband had a fractured hip repaired with rods and pins 9 months prior and him walking was 55 minutes.

There were atleast 10 people behind him.

Two years ago I mostly walked the whole 5k. I don't remember my time. I remember I was last. I also remember the encouragement from other participants and getting the "medal" from the cast members. Totally worth it.

I power walked with a few jogging intervals 9/2016 and 4/2017 and did it in about 48 mins both times

it was super hot when we did it in july. i opted out of the 2nd loop. went to the finish line at the end...and they were giving out the medals/larnyard. i told the lady that was passing them out that i technically didn't finish the 5k, so i won't get the medal...but she insisted that i get it.

The easiest way to find out is to go walk 5K somewhere. How long it takes me to walk a 5K and how long it takes you to walk a 5K could be fairly different. If you are not comfortable with walking 5K to see how you do, then you shouldn't be signing up for a structured 5K.

I would say about an hour. Depending on the time of year the heat may be brutal. I've never been one to walk a 15 minute mile, more like 17-20 minute miles. It really depends on how fast you can walk. Take a walk and time yourself with an app like map my walk, or any other distance measuring app (many newer phones come with them preloaded). It really can vary from one person to the next.

Oh, and I'm jealous of all you 15 minute walkers.
