Support Runners at Disneyland Half in New Way

One of the cool things about runDisney is they offer free runner tracking. You can sign up to receive alerts for the runs at various points in their race (I think for my half it was every 5K if I'm not mistaken). This lets you know how they're doing, but also help you judge when they will reach certain areas of the course if you are spectating.

The service is very easy, we'll do it Special Agent Oso style with 3 special steps:

Step 1. you go to the site.

Step 2. You search their name or bib

Step 3. You add your phone number to receive text messages.

In addition, runners can sign up to share these notifications to Facebook and Twitter as well. If you want to sign up, just go to http://www.disneylandhalf.racejoy.com/

This year, there is a new element available under race interaction. This year, you can text your support to 567890 or tweet using the hash tag #DisneylandHalf to send messages to runners on big screens along the course. This will be done for both the 10K and Half, with screens at the start line, finish line and Family Reunion area. During the half marathon, messages will also appear at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. 

Get the full information from the runDisney blog.

Show your support for any runners you know. I plan to be supporting my friends Brian and Dave who are both running.

Will you be running? If you want me to send a message hopefully bound for the JumboTron, just let me know in the comments!
