Hey y’all keep us all updated when registration opens. I don’t check daily but I don’t want to miss registration. Thanks! And if I see I’ll post too.

Found the link for the magazine from 2018
Just the Epcot road and park/boardwalk. 3 full miles of woodpecker lane and Epcot Center DriveEntering Epcot through the overpass and cast parking.
Edit: Who ran this course? I see that it leaves and re-enters Epcot for the boardwalk loop, but I can imagine that that point will be a enormous bottle neck.
Same as the 2017& 2016 route.
I can put the links in here if you want them

So the same course as the Princess 10K?

There were no bottlenecks in Coral A. Easy, fun course.
I'll never be in A, except in my dreams...

I've run it several times, for Princess and Marathon Weekend, I think in A through D. Don't recall any huge bottleneck. 3 miles in, with the staggered waves, it's pretty spread out by then.

Even if they use the international gateway for both directions? It looks like trouble to me watchin the course maps

I'd say it's less congested than the stretch coming out of the castle in any race that goes through the castle.
Don't remember running the IG both directions for Princess 10K.

I think because we ran in to BoardWalk through the IG......but exited to the left, past the SkyLiner construction to enter Epcot backstage by UK. Am I right?
I think so.

Through the IG? My bad I didn't fully read, nope only outbound goes through the IG. I was thinking of that slight incline between the end of the boat dock and the bridge towards boardwalk. Thats the only place the runners really overlap. And it's like 15-20 feet wide split in half, so as I said, not really congested.

A friend of my bought the merchandise for me, but wasn't able to ship it untill april (when he went to the UK for the London Marathon), so I finally have my figurine and cup. Love them, even though I wasn't there for the weekend

You've got a nice friend ... I took one look at the line to get in and said there is nothing I want so much that I'm willing to wait in that line!A friend of my bought the merchandise for me, but wasn't able to ship it untill april (when he went to the UK for the London Marathon), so I finally have my figurine and cup.

They really need to post pictures and such when they do the pre-order. Sure, I might take a flier on a $15 pin, but a $80 hoodie sight unseen? No thanks. And you still needed to wait in line to get in even if you did pre-order since the pickup was inside the merch sales area this year.
