Yep, that's the plan. I'll get pre-race photos during 5K and 10K but not before the half and full.
exactly this!!!!

I'm also shocked that I'm in corral B...I submitted the same expected finish time of 4:30 with a PoT of 1:52...maybe this will motivate me to finish a few minutes faster? HahaI’m surprised to be in corral B for the marathon considering I entered an expected finish of 4:30 with a 1/2 POT of 1:54. With the issues I had during training I’ll probably start in the back of the corral just to stay out of the way of much faster runners.
If my calculations are correct, being in Corral D, I will have 6,757 Full (5,710 Half) starting before me and 16,829 Full (18,975 Half) starting after me. Also, 40% of the runners in the marathon and 47% of the runners in the half marathon are in Corrals G & H.
Anyone have a guess how far ahead of the sweepers the first wave of corral G will start in the half? That's where my rD group will be starting and I want to have some idea how much character time we have along the route.
C here too!My husband is in C. He’s happy with that.
Thanks - so 14-18 minutes. We can make up more time by moving faster than the 16 minute per mile pace, but I have never been back there.Based on past practice with the mini-waves, I guess they'll gain at least six minutes on the end of corral G, another 2-4 minutes before H starts, and then another 6-8 minutes before the balloon ladies cross the line.
That's nuts.Also, 40% of the runners in the marathon and 47% of the runners in the half marathon are in Corrals G & H.
That does seem like a lot longer.Event Guide says that 5K and 10K will start every 8-15 minutes ... that feels like a lot more time between corrals than before? Or maybe I just try to block it out because Carissa?
Or maybe they are taking into account the waves? But yeah, 15 minutes seems like a lot.Event Guide says that 5K and 10K will start every 8-15 minutes ... that feels like a lot more time between corrals than before? Or maybe I just try to block it out because Carissa?
We need corrals. I have had the day from hell and this would help greatly. Had to put my sweet baby Spock to sleep and just buried him in our back 40.
The strategy with these corrals is simple - get there early, don't mess around in the pre-race area, head straight to the corrals and move to the very front of your corral.
