Maps other then the course map?

[skiandrun]

Are there any maps that show things like how far the race retreat is from the start and finish or how close the course goes to different hotels? I know the course map kind of shows the hotels but it really isn't clear at all IMO.

Here is a link to my Garmin track from 2013. It'll give you a good idea of what the actual course looks like.

I'll assume this question is for the full marathon,the runners will pass on the streets outside the Contemporary,Polynesian and Grand Floridian.They don't really come very close to the Contemporary but closer to the GF and the Poly.In fact the Poly has one of the best areas to see the runners,nothing really exciting about where they're running just a long straight street but you get to see them pretty good .After they leave the MK area there's not another hotel until the Boardwalk area,the runners will run behind the Boardwalk resort by the lake and then by the Y&B Club which is another great area to see the runners,right after this area the runners enter Epcot and are about a mile and a half from the finish line.The race retreat area is basically right near the finish line and the runners staging area since the actual starting line is about a 15 minute walk from the staging area.

This map is awesome!! Thanks so much, it's exactly what I need. My mom is going to wrangle two grandchildren and try to watch me at some point so I thought right at the hotel and then at the finish line was probably all she could handle. We are staying at the grand floridian so looks like it will be super easy to just walk through the parking lots to the road.

OK, thanks. I saw that a lot of people said the race retreat was far from the start line so good to know it's near the finish. That is very helpful.

Nice pacing, looks like a negative split... and the track might show either stopping for characters or potty breaks

Thanks. Those stops were for pictures. Lots of pictures.
