#runICOT Marathon Wknd2016: January 6-10, 2016

[John]

From Wednesday January 6th thru Sunday January 10th, the INTERCOT community will gather at Walt Disney World's Marathon Weekend.

You don't have to be a runner to join in all the fun that comes along with an INTERCOT meet, but you can help us raise money for a good cause - ThyCa, The Thyroid Cancer Survivors Association Inc.

By purchasing any #runICOT gear, all proceeds will go to this great charity who reminds you to "Get a Neck Check."

If you plan to be part of the #cheerICOT crew, we can promise you a memorable weekend and it would be a good time to start thinking about hotel reservations and book with our Exclusive Travel Partner - Magical Journeys.

All the details are now posted at http://intercot.com/news/runICOT

We will have at least one new shirt for 2016 and also are looking into doing #cheerICOT shirts for those not racing.

Ah! So they are apparently going to stick with 2 weeks between early registration and regular registration. Regular starts April 28th.

Does anyone know if early registration for the full marathon is usually available for DVC members, or is it only the half that's open early?

My sister and I are planning on running the full (my first, and the day before my 40th birthday), and my mom and other sister are going to do the half.

Thanks.

I want you to know that they set aside a limited number of registration spots for early registration. If you want to go this route, you still will need to be at the ready as soon as it opens up.

Congratulations on committing to your first full! I did my first full at Disney as well when I was 42.

Regarding registering for the marathon and half marathon. My family is able to participate in early registration however because of various issues everyone has in terms of timing and computer access I'm the one that needs to register all four of us, two of the marathon and two of the half marathon. I plan on being online right when the window opens but just read something that has me concerned with getting everyone into the race they want to run. So, two questions, first, do I need to register and pay for each person individually (and then go back and register and pay for the second, etc.) or can I register everyone at once (or at least everyone for each race) and then pay in one go? Second, with early registration and being online right at 9:00 (Pacific time) do I have a good shot of getting everyone registered? Oh, and a third question, which race will fill up fastest, should I register the half marathon people or the full marathon people first?

Thank you for all your help!

Ok, I've been looking for the AP and DVC links. Found the AP but can't connect to the DVC one. I know it's too early to register. Just wondering if it's too early for the DVC link to show up?

[Rufuscube]

Where can i find the AP link. i guess Disney doesnt think us Canadians need the Mickey Monitor so i dont know about the link.

Currently arguing with Disney.

Marci,

I THINK I remember from past registrations that the link doesn't show up until 9:00. At least that's what I'm hoping at this point. I have three alarms set to make sure I get on right at 9:00.

Ha 😁

[Rufuscube]

If you figure where to get a Canada running shirt, let me know

So I know this company that does custom shirts......

Oh ya, should have thought that one through first.

Ha 😁

I think everyone should wear Canada shirt. Honorary Canadians Ala 2015 Marathon

So since this will be the first time I'll be able to come out for the full marathon day, how do we get to DHS?
I know Mel and Carol watch from Shades of Green then move to DHS. If staying at Poly, which I'm hoping to, how hard is it to get to SOG and to DHS
Thanks all. Training is going very slowly. I know it's still 7 1/2 months away. Hoping I'll be ready.
