Creator's Key Takeaways
Do you have to be a hardcore Runner to do this race hardcore no please do not enter
The rules used to be that you had to be 10 and older to sign up for the Castaway Key 5K which I found a little frustrating
Now that it's kind of a DIY race families can do it together there's no age limit
Definitely should hydrate at breakfast before your 5K
