Good meeting places along the course?

[WaDiWo]

Hi all!

Are there good "check points" along the course that are good for meeting up with other runners in your group? lets say a bunch of us are starting in different corrals buy want to meet somewhere along the way so we can run for a little while get our pictures taken together at some point. We don't all want to drop back to the last corral to start together; we figure the faster ones can go ahead then rest at the meeting place and let te later ones catch up.

We're thinking maybe a water stop before the contemporary or MK. maybe even MK itself. but we want an obvious spot that we won't miss but not too crowded.

any suggestions?

thanks!

I've never tried it, but the mile markers seem the most unambiguous place to try to stage a meet.

Be aware lots of people like to take pictures of the miles markers, so standing in front of it won't make you a lot of friends.

Something like the 'meet on the opposite side of the road at the 6 mile mark' should work.

Honestly, the best is to walk out to the corrals and start together. One corral difference and you may be able to swing it, but if you are in multiple, the chances of missing one another are high. The faster runners can fall back but the slower cannot move forward at the start.

Absent that, I think I would have them hang loose after the water stop you mentioned (it's a wide open bus parking lot) or even run through the one lane section on World Dr. and hang just after the guard shack prior to running under the RR track

I know of a place to grab a coffee or something cold, , along the way. It does require a little detour, though.

Mile marker 15.

It's just a jump to the left......And then a step, down the hill, to the right...., Put your hands on your hips......

I thought you only had to bring your knees in tight near the porta-potties?
