Marathon Weekend 2024

which means they may have a keychain left

Man, high stakes gambling!

SAFD: We are a family of 4 (Mom, Dad, 19yr old son, and 18 yr old son) and are all doing our first Dopey this January. We have scheduled a celebratory dinner Monday night at Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White (really with Dopey)

 

[BigEeyore]

SAFD: Have a reservation at the Biergarten for Sunday night after the full. We usually head to Epcot after the full, since it's a pretty chill park to just take it easy - stroll around, get a beverage of choice, watch some live entertainment, and eat some yummy food!

 

[Kerry1957]

I know that @DopeyBadger has historically done a big doc for us with names/screen names, costumes, paces, landmarks, etc. Billy, we know that you have a lot going on with your family, and that the holidays might be especially precious to you right now. I know I offered last year, and there were a few others who said they would help, but if you feel like you'd rather forego the massive wave of info and the time it'll take to sort/input it, this is something we can take off your plate this year.

I'm also happy to help. Retirement has it's perks!
@Herding_Cats , just let me know where and when you could use a hand. I'm pretty proficient at Excel and PowerPoint and can manipulate PDFs. Not quite at Millennial or GenX speed but not bad.

I think the next step would be to ask all who are interested to post their:

• Race (5k, 10K, Half, Full)
• Screen name
• Real name optional (first name is fine)
• Estimated pace
• Corral
• Bib number (last 2 or three digits can be X's)
• Costume or shirt/short colors when known

I do not have last year's document in front of me. What am I missing? Since the courses are different, one task will be to plot the mile for the landmarks for each race. Most of the rest will be input and sorting.

Some of this info will not be known until we get our bib number, but time is moving fast.

Thanks Kerry! I gladly accept your assistance since this English major isn't great with Excel (but I can muddle through most things.) I have the exact wording Billy usually uses (if we want to include all of the meetup/front/back/middle corral info) that I will put in a separate post so it's not quite so buried. He is going to send me the files of the previous iterations on Tuesday and I'm hoping there might be just some mild tweaking to some values (for distances since we arrive at AK sooner during the marathon this year, as an example) to help our fellow Dis'ers.

Marathon Weekend 2024 DIS LIST

Alright everyone, Kerry and I will put together a spreadsheet that has everyone that wishes to participate in the spreadsheet's information on it. We do this as a means to help people find each other on race day at either the pre-race/post-race meet-ups, in the starting groups, or just by chance on the course. We will ask for information and you can choose to provide or not provide any information as you desire (or not participate at all). The only key parts are Dis name, estimated pace/POT from registration, and expected pace. All others are optional. This will also be helpful to your family and spectators because it provides "time of day" markers for when you should reach different milestones based on your estimated pace and starting time (starting group). This might also help if you are hoping to find a runny-buddy with similar goals.

So for every race that you (or friend/family member) plan to participate in (so Goofy and Dopey people I need each race separately, 5k, 10k, HM, M...) please provide me the following:

RACE -
NAME -
DIS'er name -
Costume/Clothing -
Estimated Pace/Finish/POT from Registration -
Club runDisney Platinum? - (Yes or No)
Pre-Race Meet-up? - (Yes or No)
Front, Middle, or Back of starting group -
Early Bird or Late Arriver -
Expected Race Pace -

We will compile everyone's response into a single spreadsheet and then distribute this when we get closer to race day. As for the optional items, the following reasons have been given for why someone may choose not to provide:

NAME - Because I want internet anonymity. Just first name or initials are fine. Or nothing at all is fine too.
Estimated Pace/Finish/POT from Registration: If you know now that you will be starting in a different group than assigned, then give me the group you plan to start in. The estimate for the M/HM should be the estimated finish time you selected (for instance 4:30-5:00 for a M or Dopey). We will assume one starting group on a single HM/M bib for Dopey runners. So whatever your M assignment will be the same as your HM assignment.
Pre-Race Meet-up? - Not required to attend or not attend the meet up. Just gives us an idea of who to look out for morning of.
Early Bird or Late arriver just means whether you think you'll arrive to the meet-up/starting group early in the race morning or late in the race morning.
Front, Middle, Back of corral just means where you plan on lining up when the race starts. This helps people find you easier in a crowd if say two people are in corral C, that are early birds, and front people. Then I'd look for your costume on race day. As well it helps with timing to know whether you're closer to the front of your group or back.

Once we "like" your post with the above information in it we have added you to the compiled list.

We will include timing information about the races based on past history but no guarantee they follow the same system as before.

The DIS List also contains:

-Timing information for each race (like what time the corrals open, or the walkout to the HM/M start line)
-Pre-Race Meetup location and timing
-When you individually will hit milestones on course based on your estimated pace and start time estimate.
-A suggestion as to whether your spectating friends will need to take a pre-race bus or a post-race start bus to see you at the finish line.
-HH meetup information
-Riding rides estimates based on your pace and start time
-Alcohol locations on course
-Real bathroom locations on course
-Magic Kingdom dark sky estimates based on your pace and start
-Pacer information (if available)
-DATW information

[AJruns]

SAFD: my tradition for Sunday is CRT- I love it! I also like to go somewhere for breakfast after the 10k and have a bigger meal that night before I eat more simply on Saturday (bonus points if I’m trying somewhere new). This year on Friday I’m doing breakfast at Ale and Compass and dinner at Three Bridges, which are both new for me. I’d really like to try Hoop sometime but my best timing would be Monday, so sad they aren’t open then!

Marathon Weekend 2024 DIS LIST

Alright everyone, Kerry and I will put together a spreadsheet that has everyone that wishes to participate in the spreadsheet's information on it. We do this as a means to help people find each other on race day at either the pre-race/post-race meet-ups, in the starting groups, or just by chance on the course. We will ask for information and you can choose to provide or not provide any information as you desire (or not participate at all). The only key parts are Dis name, estimated pace/POT from registration, and expected pace. All others are optional. This will also be helpful to your family and spectators because it provides "time of day" markers for when you should reach different milestones based on your estimated pace and starting time (starting group). This might also help if you are hoping to find a runny-buddy with similar goals.

So for every race that you (or friend/family member) plan to participate in (so Goofy and Dopey people I need each race separately, 5k, 10k, HM, M...) please provide me the following:

RACE -
NAME -
DIS'er name -
Costume/Clothing -
Estimated Pace/Finish/POT from Registration -
Club runDisney Platinum? - (Yes or No)
Pre-Race Meet-up? - (Yes or No)
Front, Middle, or Back of starting group -
Early Bird or Late Arriver -
Expected Race Pace -

We will compile everyone's response into a single spreadsheet and then distribute this when we get closer to race day. As for the optional items, the following reasons have been given for why someone may choose not to provide:

NAME - Because I want internet anonymity. Just first name or initials are fine. Or nothing at all is fine too.
Estimated Pace/Finish/POT from Registration: If you know now that you will be starting in a different group than assigned, then give me the group you plan to start in. The estimate for the M/HM should be the estimated finish time you selected (for instance 4:30-5:00 for a M or Dopey). We will assume one starting group on a single HM/M bib for Dopey runners. So whatever your M assignment will be the same as your HM assignment.
Pre-Race Meet-up? - Not required to attend or not attend the meet up. Just gives us an idea of who to look out for morning of.
Early Bird or Late arriver just means whether you think you'll arrive to the meet-up/starting group early in the race morning or late in the race morning.
Front, Middle, Back of corral just means where you plan on lining up when the race starts. This helps people find you easier in a crowd if say two people are in corral C, that are early birds, and front people. Then I'd look for your costume on race day. As well it helps with timing to know whether you're closer to the front of your group or back.

Once we "like" your post with the above information in it we have added you to the compiled list.

We will include timing information about the races based on past history but no guarantee they follow the same system as before.

The DIS List also contains:

-Timing information for each race (like what time the corrals open, or the walkout to the HM/M start line)
-Pre-Race Meetup location and timing
-When you individually will hit milestones on course based on your estimated pace and start time estimate.
-A suggestion as to whether your spectating friends will need to take a pre-race bus or a post-race start bus to see you at the finish line.
-HH meetup information
-Riding rides estimates based on your pace and start time
-Alcohol locations on course
-Real bathroom locations on course
-Magic Kingdom dark sky estimates based on your pace and start
-Pacer information (if available)
-DATW information

Thank you @Herding_Cats and @Kerry1957!

This is a lot of work to organize, thank you!
