Ok, so no monorail offered for 5K and 10K?? What gives Also, what do y'all wear to hold id's, phone, etc? How long do most of y'all spend at the expo? Getting really excited, especially after listening to a podcast recently! Still nervous and feel like we are so unprepared, but excited!
The monorail service for this PHM Weekend is different from our 2015 Marathon Weekend experience. For that weekend, monorail was running for all the races - including the 5K. But I was reading the guide for the 2016 Marathon Weekend and saw that had changed, so I kind of expected it for PHM. I'm OK with that. We used buses from BWI for the 2014 PHM 5K and half. Then we used the monorail from Poly for the 2015 Marathon 5K, half and full marathons. In some ways, the bus is better because it brings you right to the start/finish area. I don't mind the walk if the weather is nice, but for the 2015 Marathon Weekend 5K, it was freezing!!! The monorail was super cold that morning and then the walk from the monorail over to the start/finish area was also super cold. I was thinking a nice toasty bus would have been good!
I don't carry anything with me (although the road ID is a good idea) and my expo time is super short because I have my three boys with me! One time, I picked up a pre-ordered Raw Threads shirt, but that's the extent of my shopping.
