On January 15, 2020, runDisney is returning to Disney’s private island paradise during a four-night cruise on the Disney Dream for the Disney Castaway Cay Challenge. This sailing, which departs the Monday after Marathon Weekend, will be adding some extra pixie dust to its stop on Castaway Cay. Before you enjoy the island’s white sand beaches, snorkel lagoons and more, you’ll have an unforgettable race alongside Disney characters while experiencing enhanced entertainment and, of course, tropical ocean breezes!
While every stop at Castaway Cay features a 5K race, this exclusive runDisney Challenge is only open to runners that participated in at least one of the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend races. Challenge participants can also enjoy a course chat to prepare for the race, a runDisney trivia competition, exclusive merchandise available onboard and a beer and champagne tent on Castaway Cay to celebrate after the race.
Every finisher in the Castaway Cay Challenge will receive a medal uniquely designed for the 2020 race. Stay tuned for our reveal of the new medal design!
In addition to a runDisney race through paradise, the four-night cruise on the Disney Dream will be packed with ways to relax and recharge, like spa treatments, fun deck parties and water activities, Broadway-style shows, world-class dining and more. On Castaway Cay, you can enjoy snorkeling in the lagoon, resting in a hammock or indulging in a delicious lunch in an open-air BBQ dining location… once thet finish running, of course!
