Half Marathon (Race begins at 5:30am)
The cheering section will meet no later
than 5:00am at the Magic Kingdom turnstiles.
Instructions and tips on getting there are in the #runICOT forum.
The Magic Kingdom opens at 5:30am (and sometimes earlier - like last
year) for spectators to get their spot on Main Street. Let’s have a
HUGE turnout, as this is a magical experience! A park ticket is NOT
required to get in. This is around Mile 6 for the runners.
How to get to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday morning
for Half Marathon viewing from Main Street:
The monorail is running round trip from Epcot to the Ticket
and Transportation Center at this time of the morning for
the race, so if you park at or ride a bus from a resort to
Epcot, hop the monorail to the TTC. If you have a car, you
can also park at the TTC, but be warned that the streets are
blocked off starting about 4:30am.
Once you get to
the TTC, get on the resort line monorail, get off at the
Contemporary and walk to the Magic Kingdom gates (confirm
with castmembers this is the best way to get there - as
things change). The monorail does not stop at the Magic
Kingdom until 5:30am, but it does stop at all the resorts.
Allow plenty of time so that we can all be there by 5:00am
and have the group ready for the turnstiles to open. In
previous years they opened at 5:30, but last year they were
already open when we arrived around 5:15.
Afterwards, you can catch a monorail to the TTC, then transfer to
the Epcot line and proceed to Mile 12. We'll meet near the
Epcot bus depot.
