Thought I'd start a thread that we can keep updated as to who exactly is coming and who is doing what races. I know the announcement of the new 10K race (which is rumored to be Minnie themed) has changed plans of some of us.
So chime in here, and we'll keep the list updated. If you want, please include non-ICOT members who may be traveling with you. On the official meet thread, we'll start moving forward soon with some concrete plans as to special shirts, meet ups, etc. :thumbsup:

*indicates a maybe
I'm in for the half, as is my sister Jessica!
*IF* we go:
I'll be doing the 10K, maybe the 5K if we can get in one day earlier.
DH, the 10K and the Half (and also the 5k if we get in Wednesday)
10K for me If I can register before they sell out. I'll probably do a solo trip.
I'd love to do the Dopey but just not ready for 48.6 miles and four 2:30 AM wake-up calls.
I'm leaning towards volunteering for one of the races. I volunteered for the expo last year and it was fun but I think a race would be really cool.
My husband (slinkydog) and I are in for the 10K, definitely. Verdict is still out on whether we would actually do the 5K as well. At the minimum we hope to be there to cheer everyone on, but we won't know if that scheduling will work out for a while yet. My sister-in-law will be doing the 5K (Lisa) and we are trying to convince brother-in-law as well but not sure if he will do it.
I did see on the official runDisney page the 10K medal is Minnie Mouse. :minnie: I am SUPER excited!:minnie2:
Do you really think it will sell out quickly? I know with the 10K being a brand new race, it will attract a lot of people, but is this something like getting tickets to a big concert where you have to be online as soon as it goes on sale??Quote:

If my family comes with me, my kids will do the kid's races. Probably the Mickey Mile for my son and 200M dash for my daughter.
I'm probably just overreacting because of how fast the DL 10K sold out. I know there are different race capacities and I heard rD is not pre-selling except for the Runner's World challenge.Quote:

I definitely think the pre-selling is what made Dumbo sell out so quickly (although I'm glad DH got in at the WDW Marathon expo). I doubt we'll see any more pre-selling.Quote:

5k & 10k for me.
5K for me and Wife Dawn will be there for support. 1st time ever running without it being for my life so I'm scared/nervous/excited about this. Should be around for support myself for the other races.
Good for you!! You will have a blast! I really enjoyed the 5K last year. Running through EPCOT is fantastic.Quote:

Hi Melanie - just wanted to let you know so you can update your list that I will be for sure doing the 5K or MIGHT upgrade to the 10K (with this new option, especially since the medal is a Minnie Mouse!) and my husband Tim is doing the 5 K and my daughter Grace will be doing the 5K and maybe upgrade to the 10K too. I know for sure whichever race we do wind up doing it will be just one race, because after all - for us this is still our annual trip to WDW and we don't want it to be all about the races - but we most definately want to meet up, cheer on other folks on and order any ICOT swag and Tshirts to show our ICOT support! WOO HOO!!!:thumbsup:Quote:

We are trying to convince our older sister to come and cheer us on as well... her name is Kelly but she is a "MAYBE" at this point.
Running the 1/2 w/ my Sister in Law and Cousin - all 1st time runners! Many years spent spectating and cheering on family and friends. We're hoping to dress up as characters from Alice in Wonderland.
My sister and close friend are running the FULL! It's going to be an exciting weekend.
:yay::fan::hatter::ccat::walk:
My husband (Mike) and I are in for the Dopey Challenge.
:help:
I was just thinking about this type of list. It will be nice to know who we are cheering for at each race.
Me ----------------> :cheer:
My son Shayne is running the 5k, 10k and Half Marathon.
IceCreamBeer - (Cheryl) is running the 5k & 10k
Her son Gunner is also running the 5k.
Got some updating to do! :thumbsup:
I mentioned this on a different thread, but my husband and I are switching roles. I am now doing the full. Yikes!
Jon (DH) and I (Mel) are doing the 5K and will be on INTERCOT cheer squad for the other races. Happy to hold banner and whoop it up.
Then I'll be one of the INTERCOTEES cheering for you!Quote:

PS - Anyone doing costumes that we can watch out for and cheer for? I'll keep an eye out while running the 1/2. And while spectating the full marathon.
Hope everyone's training is going well!
I'm signed up for Dopey. I don't k ow what I was thinking and have been freaking out ever since!!
Hi, I'm new here. A friend told me about the group. I'm registered for the 5k & 10k. My husband & I are staying at the Wilderness Lodge. :mickey:
4th consecutive Goofy Challenge for me. One of the wheelchair racers and I'll be wearing maize (mostly) & blue so I shouldn't be too hard to spot when I go by.
Hi! Welcome to INTERCOT! I'm excited you're here and you'll be joining us for the Marathon Weekend.Quote:
