Throwing this out there to any N.E./CT DADS.....
On Saturday March 23, 2013 there is a 5K run in Hartford, CT at 10am. This run is to benefit the families directly affected by the tragedy in Sandy Hook. It is being called Sandy Hook: Run for the families.
http://www.hartfordmarathon.com/Events/Sandy_Hook_Run_for_the_Families.htm
If there is anyone interested please let me know. We could create our own team and run as a group, or run individual. After the run we could go grab some lunch and have a beer. Unfortunately, I can't hang out all night, I have to work but I should be available till 3 or 4.
There are 6500+ people signed up and they are expecting over 10,000 runners. According to their website there are going to be 3 separate self-seeding corrals. Not sure what the times will be but I could imagine sub 8min, sub 10min, everyone else. Believe me, it is going to be a cluster at the beginning but it will be a good experience for all you running dads to get a race under your belt.

Should be there running this race
Ok, I'm in! Trying to register. Do we have a team yet? I could create one. How about the Biergarten Bums?
Just booked a room at Saratoga Springs for January 8th - 14th of next year. Hoping to switch to either BLT (convenience for Bambi and the kids to get over to MK by 6:00am then to Epcot for the finish) or OKW (to save some DVC points).
Anyone else going to be in Disney World that weekend?
Would that be marathon weekend? If yes, then I am planning to be there running or not(still working on the leg). If not, then no. I'm pretty sure I would be divorced if I planned to be there twice in January.

Yes, that's marathon weekend. The half marathon is January 11th, where I'll be defending my crown as Nemesis Challenge Champion.* This thread was getting a bit stale and I thought I'd try to inject a little bit of life into it.
*There is no actual crown. But there should be.
How far in advance do you need to book a place for marathon weekend? Also, with the 1/2 marathon on the 11th...what sort of things lead up to that and when should someone plan to actualy get into town?? Shari and I will be making a quick trip without the kids.

Not really sure. It's still pretty far out for people to be planning and booking, but I like to book as soon as I have my dates set so I don't forget later.Well then, YES, I plan to be in attendance. Not sure where I would be staying yet as I will be traveling solo unless I can convince grandma to take the kids. I don't have DVC, so where would you suggest is the best to be around the guys?
I'll be there teaching some kid a lesson!

Well the dvc filled up pretty quick once the registering for the marathon n opened. Not sure about other resorts. I am also waiting to see what others decide to do as far as getting in town and length of stays. I am thinking though for me I might get in on thurs and leave sunday night. kind of the same as I did for the convention. But I guess a lot of it will depend on how long others are planning to stay
