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. (http://www.thyca.org/)

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 (http://www.magicaljourneys.com/).

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

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

I've heard that they are doing it two weeks in advance because they are now cross checking pass holders who register against a pass holder list and cancel the registration if the person is not on the list. I'm not sure if that is the true reason but since anyone can use the pass holder link and there have been complaints the last few races, it certainly might be true.

Wow! Interesting if that is indeed the case. But where to draw the line? Passholders only? Immediate family members? There is a place on the registration that asks if you want to register someone else.

I registered James a few weeks back for the Disneyland Half under my Passholder link. As far as I know, he's still registered. At least he better be. I would think if they drop you, they'd have to let you know before the regular registration opens up.

I don't think that it is since as you said, you can register others. Plus, the pass holder links require signing in.

They probably changed it to two weeks so that Active can have enough time to sort out all the errors that occur with the early registrations. ;). Goodness, it took them a week to address our issue of lack of registration email!

I don't know. It's just what some people are reporting that runDisney has told them. They also say that it is fine to register household members with your annual pass so James should be fine no matter what.

And I have no idea how people have been registering when they are no passholders but people are reporting it all the time on two of the FB groups I belong too. I think people just register their friends.

Yeah, I think in the past the links have been 'open.' Therefore, once you get to it using the Passholder or DVC (or in the past, Disney Visa) link, you can share. I see people all the time on the official runDisney page on FB asking folks to post the link when it opens.

I think they'd have to allow registering household members. That would get very messy if not.

You know what's frustrating?

Not being able to see what rack rates are for rooms in 2016.

I'm going to be travelling solo next January and I wanted a room at either the Beach Club, Yacht Club or Swan/Dolphin. (gonna treat myself!)

Anybody have any rough idea of what it costs that time of year?

Also... GOD HELP ME... I'm considering doing the 10k instead of the 5k this year. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???

Carolyn, I stayed at Boardwalk in 2014 and it was roughly 300 a night. For 2015 I got quotes of about $2000 for 4 nights before any discounts were out. I ended up going with POR which worked out very nice because I had a car and could drive to the 5K and 10K.

And welcome to the crazy club. Christine managed to talk me into signing up for a 1/2 in October and I swore up in January that a 10K was going to be my max!

Buttercup
03-22-2015, 09:18 PM
Thanks Cindy that's good to know about the room rates.
I've never stayed at the Swan or Dolphin before. Do those resorts tend to cost the same as the Beach Club etc? More? Less?
I'm contemplating getting a rental car anyway so maybe I will do the same as you with Port Orleans. Just gathering all the info at this point.

AgentC

I never stayed at the Dolphin or the Swan but I know several people who have and like them. I went to a confernce there and it was very nice. They tend to be cheaper than the Disney resorts . I think they run $200-300 but sometimes have good discounts. They do charge for parking and have a resort fee.

I'm in a similar situation to you. My kids go back to school the Tuesday before marathon weekend so they stay home with my husband until the weekend. I really enjoyed stayjng in the deluxe in 2014 but I couldn't justify the expense just for me this year.

POR worked fine and since the roads are not bad for the 5K and 10k it was nice to sleep in a little later and not have to stand out in the cold as long!

Rack rate for a standard room at the YC this year for marathon weekend was $325/night.

I have stayed at the Swan before and after all fees and stuff, it ends up costing about the same as YC/BC unless they are running a special (which I doubt they will for that particular weekend.)

And, a 10k is not bad at all. I ran 10k this year and had never run that far all at once prior to the race. I drank up an energy drink, had a banana and a power bar an hour before the race and I FLEW through the course. I won't lie and say I wasn't in agony for the following 24 hours, but during the race I felt great. The adrenaline really gets you going and the course honestly feels shorter than I thought it would. Tons of fun!!

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!

Great. I can already tell this is going to be a fun registration. :unsure: My AP expired last week, but my youngest has a valid AP, but from what I've tried so far, I'm not seeing how I can access the AP page through him. It's him I want to register. Sigh.

That's what I'm having to do, Cindy, but you know, it can't be easy. :bang: On my second call with tech support. I may have this straightened out by noon. :unsure:

I personally think it's ridiculous that the passholder page will only recognize the primary MDE account holder. Another bad kink in this system.

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.

Yes, I have reached that level of insanity. Request chocolate covered pretzels.

Besides, passing you guys at the Boardwalk at the 10 last year made me kinda sad. I'm ready to cheer Justin and all of the 10K #runICOT people on. There will be another boa!

Alright, silly Canada here got sidetracked and missed the early registration. :(

It's just me coming to Marathon Weekend in 2016 so I've got to represent my entire family and nation I suppose. :thumbsup: I said to Mike, "I'm thinking of doing the 10K" and he said "What? You can't do that can you?"

So, I will be the one doing the 10K wearing the shirt that says "CAN". (like Buzz Lightyear...)

Anyway, wish me luck that I actually am able to get registered on April 28. I'm setting an alarm in my phone!

Two more questions now that I've found the main thread, hoping these aren't too specific for the conversation here:

Staying on site. Looks like Swan and Dolphin are all booked up (already?!) with 2016 rates not released for any other on-sites yet. I feel like I need to get on this ASAP, true? Feels like this will be a busy weekend.
I can realistically only take two weekdays off, so this will be a whirlwind trip from quite far away. If running a Goofy Sat/Sun: I'm thinking "arrive fri, leave Tuesday" approach would squeeze the most out of the trip, true? (vs. Thurs to Mon OR Weds to Sun)

It's a busy weekend but definitely not peak capacity busy. It wouldn't hurt to reserve a room now even before you know rates.

If you plan to arrive on Friday to do the Goofy Challenge Saturday and Sunday be sure to get an early flight so you build in plenty of time to get to registration and pick up your bib / packet. You can't pick that stuff up race morning so if you fly in Friday and get delayed that could really mess up your weekend. With winter air-travel the way it is I'd recommend Thursday-Monday of your ideas.

Great point!! It looks like bibs/packets get picked up at the Expo at ESPN Wide World of Sports? I also see this has to be self-collected now. Arg. Looks like the hours are already posted as 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2016. So that's a real factor.

It's so strange planning something so far away that requires such detailed registering/scheduling. Some of this seems harder than the endless running might be, haha.

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.

To SoG entrance from Poly? Easy peasy! In fact, some sections of the Poly may be closer to the Shades entrance than Shades itself (but not the DVC areas), being that it's a ways up a long driveway into Shades from the main drive. Anyway, there is signage on the Poly grounds how to get through the foliage and to the Shades entrance. We'll show ya earlier in the week, if need be.

To DHS from Poly/SOG is easy as well. That morning, they run busses from the TTC to the parks. The past few years it's been fast and easy.

I have a room held at the Swan to join the cheering section! Now, if I can get decent airfare and the snow allows, I will be there (with whoever decides to join me)

Great news, Nanci! We'll gladly have you join the cheering. :cheer:

Wondering if anyone can help.
I have been doing my C25K app and after 2 weeks of walking/running 1.5-2.5 miles every other day, I have developed bad pain on the outside of my lower legs. It's not in my shins or my calf but on the outside of my legs. From what I have been looking into, it might be shin splints. I ordered a massage roller and hopping that helps but was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, advice, etc.
it was so painful today I really cut my training short and basically limped back.

It could be shin splints or some other kind of stress injury, Justin. You probably need to see a Dr. for an absolute diagnosis. In the meantime I would RICE--rest, ice, compression, elevation. I wouldn't run on it until you know for sure what you're dealing with or you could do more damage. :(

Running form and shoes can be other factors. Starting with your doctor would be the best way to start figuring it out.

I'm pretty sure it's shin splints. Gonna take a few days off and see how it goes.

I hate doctors. LOL I also think that even though I don't think its my shoes, I'm going to go to a running store and really have them check me out.

While we were just down for our quick weekend, we could see the Orlando Eye from the plane as we were landing. Was looking it up and they have capsules that can hold 15 people. It looks like they offer group rates so would anyone be interested In doing this maybe Wednesday night? Any really but thought Wednesday would be a good early meet.

Is the Orlando Eye like the London Eye? I've been it that and it is huge! DCA has nothing on that wheel!

Yeah, I think it's a similar size. However, the Orlando Eye recently got stuck for THREE hours with people trapped inside the gondolas. With no AC. That is enough to make me cross that attraction off my list forever.

I am just starting to get myself back to shape, I was a runner in my youthful days and I figure maybe cheering for my Intercot friends will be a good motivator. I ran a Minnie Marathon at DTD years ago before my second child, and it was fun. I miss running.

Plus, I want to hang out with my Intercotee friends :blush::beer::marg:

Well, I just submitted my proof of time for the marathon. I did a half on Saturday and came in just under three hours (2:58) - a time I'm very happy with. I do know that I still have a TON of training to do. By about mile 12 I was thinking 'there is no way I could go double this right now. What the heck was I thinking?!?' :mickey: It's gotten me motivated again, that's for sure!

I submitted my time and we may be in the same Corral. I've been doing the Galloway training but not with intervals. So the time and milage just my walk breaks are on our horrendous Pittsburgh hills. But even my walking is at 14mm so I'm pretty safe. Just have to worry about training through the winter. Ice and snow and jag-off drivers splashing slush on me. Ahhhh... The northeast. :mad: How is winter training for you?

Hopefully we'll have rain in the winter. :mickey: I actually prefer the winter weather because it's cool enough to run after work and I don't need to get up so freaking early for the longer runs. Last week it was in the triple digits out here and that really put a dent in my Tuesday/Thursday runs.

I'm going to be on vacation for about two and a half weeks in November and can't run during that time so have altered the training schedule to hit the 26 miles by Halloween. Then we I get back I'll hook back onto the schedule that runDisney put out. I hope that it will work out.
