Hey guys! So we had another thread going with ideas of where we will be meeting and when during the Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend January 13-15 at Disneyland.
I'm sure some of you are arriving earlier in the week for some extra fun! So if you're on social media like Twitter, use the hashtag #runICOT and maybe you can track down some other Intercotees to meet up with! Also if anything is changing with plans, follow this thread or follow @INTERCOT on Twitter.
:rocks:
Now as far as the actual race days, this is what we've come up with as far as "semi official plans". (Thanks Justin, BrerGnat and others for your help getting this together!)

Great job Carolyn. I was going to attempt this later today. You prob did a better job than I would have. See you next week. #runICOT #cheerICOT

Thanks Carolyn! I'm running all three races!
I don't use twitter and checking the forum frequently is hard in the parks. Justin, would you text me with any plans made or changed? Thanks!

How come it's hard in the parks? The mobile version of the boards shouldn't be bad. Is it wifi issues?
I'm running all three as well. I'm sure Carolyn will be textin'

There is no wifi in the parks at Disneyland and sometimes cell coverage is spotty.

If I'm driving myself (not staying onsite), do I park in the parking lot with tram service to the starting line?

The only parking option on race day is Mickey & Friends structure. Everyone will walk to the starting area, which is near the Disneyland Hotel.

HEY EVERYBODY! If you're in the area and want to join us we will be getting together for an informal meet at the Hearthstone Lounge (inside Grand Californian) on Saturday evening at 7:00pm.
Pop by!
I want to say, "Thanks!" to everyone that came. Even though I only got to see and hang out with a few of you, just before the 5K, it was wonderful having the support you provide.
I have a special thanks for Natalie and her son for running with me (or me with them ;-)) during the 5K.
This was my first ever run and now I know why people do it! I hope to do this again with #runICOT!
