9:00, if I recall correctly. So anyone wanting to go into the park to watch would need a ticket.
Thanks for the info Keels. I always thought they did PoT over estimated time but this year a friend who had a 1:28 10k was put in corral M (which is not within the range of M according to McMillian) while another friend with a 1:23 10K was put in N (borderline M-N).
This. This. This. My 10 Miler times seem to be my best. I can keep a higher pace than a half but they look so much better than my 10k times because of how McMillan works.
My magic bands have finally made it to Montgomery, Alabama! Now let's see how long it takes them to travel the additional 45 minutes to Auburn and my doorstep
He would need to pick Epcot OR the finish line - I don't think he'll be able to see you at both spots. When we were spectating in 2014 (watching BFF) we chose to see her in Epcot. We started on one side of SSE and then while she ran up to the World Showplace plaza, we crossed over the course to see her on the other side of SSE before she left the park (you can see what I'm talking about in the course magnification below). We thought this was better so we could see her twice and she could have her "finish line moment" without having to look for us...and she could take her time getting pictures in the finisher area afterward. Plus, I'm not sure how easy/difficult it would have been to see her at the finish line, not sure what the seating is like?

For GSC pick-up, right after you get your bib you'll get your photo taken holding up the bib so that your face and number are visible. After your finish the half, you get your half medal and then you'll need to stop at the challenge tent to have your picture verified - volunteers look at you and compare it to your picture from the expo. Once that checks out, you get the GSC medal.
It never dawned on me why they took my picture before the Lumiere Challenge. I just thought they wanted a picture of me. Guess I have been hanging out in the Disney bubble too long. °o°He would need to pick Epcot OR the finish line - I don't think he'll be able to see you at both spots.

yeah, I think they want to make sure GSC is not a "team effort," so to speak.
I don't think it would be difficult, just remember that you would need to go through security/bag check and use a park ticket like a regular park day. I think the walk from the finish area to the front of Epcot is...15 minutes or so? The last time I did that walk was at the end of the marathon in 2013 (walking to catch the monorail) so it's been awhile and the walk seemed like it took forever so my time guess may not be a good one.
As far as the race going on in the park, the CMs help people crossing over the course, so it may be a few minutes of waiting to actually get from one side of the course to the other.

I would plan to be at Epcot by 3:30 -3:45 to be comfortable. You can push it to later but then you will contend with road closures and a lot more vehicles on the road which will be stressful.
Depends on your pace, whether you stop for pictures, etc. It's less than a mile - both mile marker 12 and mile marker 13 are outside of the park.
I'd guess I was in Epcot for maybe...10-12 minutes?yeah, I think they want to make sure GSC is not a "team effort," so to speak.
