Marathon Weekend 2023

[dobball23]

Is anyone else having trouble with this website today? The posts at the top of each page are all screwed up with some appearing side-by-side, some posts are appearing centered in the window, and the ads are randomly all over the place. Is it just me?

That is happening to me, too. It's not just you.

Glad to know it's not just my browser or something. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because it's making it really hard to post and read posts today. Sheesh.

The top 3 threads in the support forum are all about formatting going haywire around here. Different forums are having different issues.

They previewed the race routes at our TNT send off meeting tonight. Here’s what I could screenshot. Sorry the pics aren’t great.

Interesting that the marathon looks to be running on the Boardwalk side and not YC/BC like almost every previous year

Looks like the 10k is going the opposite way to past years? If true, I like it!

I believe it was boardwalk side back in January.

Yes, January 2022 ran along the Boardwalk side.

I wonder if they switch it up every few years to annoy the guests on one side and give the others a break

It doesn't look much different than last year's. But it does look like #TeamBB won this year!

5k course looks a bit different, and 10k course is definitely different, but half and full look pretty much the same as last year.

How is BB going to work when they need the parking lot?

Looking at a video from last year, there's no way cars can get into the parking lot.....something doesn't add up....unless the idea is that they can reopen the roads by 10am (the time that BB opens)

What is a TNT send off meeting?

 

[Herding_Cats]

The full isn't a distance I generally like, I always did it to try to BQ and once I'm done with Boston I think it will be a while before I run anything longer than 13.1 on the road. The next goal will be a trail 50K.

I’ve heard things about the north country trail 50k out of wellston, mi. Might try to get DH to hike it with me this summer and decide if I’m insane enough to think about signing up for it. Downside is I think it’s in august

There’s 0 chance that I’ll be past BB by 10am during the full of this is the same course as last year. Last year BB was at mile 21/22 if you include that out-and-back before we ran around the parking lot. That's pretty close to 6hrs out for the balloon ladies/sweepers, and depending on how quickly the corrals are released, they won't be through there until noon.

A few notes:
- 10k is similar to 2020 as far as park/resort route goes, just going in a different direction. Only one where they seem to have a handful of map options.
- This will be the third marathon in a row with more or less the same map. At this point going forward I’m not expecting it to change much.
- Maybe they just keep BB closed on Sunday? They sometimes have to close it this time of year anyway.

Kronk’s post isn’t visible on my laptop so I’m quoting it in case it’s happening to anyone else.

The 10k course is the same one we ran for SS. I'm slightly disappointed we don't get to run through HS, since I've never gotten to do that course, and what we get during the full is basically nothing (understandably so because of when we run through it, though.)

I don't know that I would characterize folks so much as "TeamBB" as I would call them "Team Not WWoS". The BB loop leaves a lot to be desired and I wish they would find another way to make up the mileage. I just don't want them to revert back to WWoS for a variety of reasons. I like the shift of the MK and non-Epcot parks to later in the race, as I think it balances the course better.
