Marathon Weekend - Getting around to cheer...

I'll have a car as well, and can pick a few up if needed. We are staying in the MK area. Let me know!!!

And GMRO, you know I'll be on it starting when we get there Tuesday. My very favorite thing to tweet/insta/FB is runDisney.

Either way, if you don't mind two grumps pre-coffee (that is Ian and me) arguing about where we should park at the Boardwalk (because most likely Ian will be right and I'll still won't be able to see in color until I get coffee), we can drive a few people...

we will have a car also, from Saratoga Springs so anyone looking for a ride let me know
Almost there, Almost there!!!!

For the 5K, the only place to cheer is right when you come out of Epcot towards the finish. Our group will be standing along that stretch.

For the 10K, we'll be on the Boardwalk, right around Big River Brewing. We were the only group out there last year, so we should be easy to spot.

For the Half, we'll be on Main Street, probably right around Casey's. And then some of us may try and head over towards the finish. We found a good spot last year right before the runners enter the Epcot bus loading area.

For the Full, Carol and I (and whoever else wants to join us) will be out early at the entrance to Shades of Green, but the main meet up is at the entrance area to Hollywood Studios. Last year we set up on the stretch between where the runners would leave the Studios and head towards the sidewalk that takes you to the Boardwalk.

GO RUFUSCUBE!!! :thumbsup: Oh, and please do come say hi the morning of the 5K. We're going to all meet at the stage and go to the corrals from there.

Where is the stage? This is my first 5K sorry, and i ran the full back 2 years ago so I'm a little rusty on the layout.

Not sure exactly, but you can't miss it once you get there. It's loud and bright! ;)

It is not the same as the marathon and the half marathon pump up stage and far away start location, although they do share the same security and bag check area.

Last year you went through security and then to your right there was a cross through walkway. Once you passed through the walkway turn right and the stage was on your right, next to the starting line arch. All the corrals (there were 3 last year) were further down on your left.

When you enter the corral, you go in one side and then when it is time to start you will exit the opposite side and walk around to the starting 'gate'.

That is how they did it last year. Also, the 10K had the same starting set up as the 5K.

Good luck everyone. You're awesome!

That describes me perfectly. Loud and with that pink shirt, VERY bright. Lol.
See yall soon

We will have a big INTERCOT banner. For the 5k we will be along the fence near the finishline, just before the grandstands. Everyone look for us and wave, dance, high five, whatever. Gary will have his camera videoing all Ya all.

We gots an app with the schedule (and shirt color for each day). Download. Enjoy. Use it to make sure you're on time to the Column meet.
