So here is where we are with the 5K.
I have spoken to several folks and all agree that arranging the 5k as a fundraiser on castaway has proven to be more difficult than we thought as there are so many variables to take into consideration that we just didn't expect so what we have decided to do is suggest that those who wish to make a donation to GKTW, or run the 5k on their own as a fundraiser do so, and those who wish to just run it for fun do that.
The 5k happens at every cc stop (weather permitted) so I am sure you will see many DIS'r up and at it.
The podsquad mentioned a few months ago that they were planning to do a big fundraiser for GKTW in the near future, when this is announced, please support it as every dollar counts.

Kelly, Thanks for your & Todd's efforts on this even though the details did not work out as hoped.
Who's still planning to do 5k, even tho it's not a fund-raiser. I guess I'll write GKTW a check, but still plan on walking the 5k. Think I can do it, walked at the ren faire with just my cane and didn't get tired until late afternoon.
I'm still going to do it. May not be a 'fundraiser' but it will be a fun-raiser for me. And I can reflect upon all the wonderful things about GKTW over the course.
Thank You Todd... we will be out there too.... but we will be in your rear view mirror for only a few minutes before you are out of sight.
I'll send in the money raised the week of the October 4th and will let everyone know on this thread how much we ended up with.

This is for those who were planning on walking the 5K and want to be in the group picture. You are probably going to have to make the decision on whether to walk or get your picture taken. It will be highly doubtful that you will be able to do both events.
Per previous Navigators the 5K (3.2 miles) will start at 8:30 a.m
Walkers doing a 5K, if walking a moderate to brisk pace will probably do a 20 minute mile pace, that is not stopping and taking pictures along the way or taking in the beauty of the island, at best case, plan that you won't be finished until about 9:40 AM
