Does anyone know if the sweep points for the full marathon will be at the same mile marks as in the past? The only information I can find for this year is that you may be picked up anywhere along the course for not maintaining pace.

Happy Holidays :santa:

I remember it the points being in the program in years past. Haven't had time to look there yet. Other than that, I'm not sure what they are doing this year for time.

I remember reading somewhere on the Disney site (and I really don't remember where I read it, maybe in the program???) that this year they will put up orange flags at the mile markers - if you reach the mile marker and the flag is up that means you are behind the pace and could be picked up at any time...

I really wish I could remember where I read that...

It's in the program in Pacing Requirements. I guess it's OK to post the link.

I have posted on my website the 2007 cutoff points they listed in the 2007 program. Remember this year races start at 5:50 and can be cut anywhere. These points are more than likely where they would bother to pick you up.

Thanks for the info! Looking at that makes me feel I should be A-OK!
