By request, I am posting a modifed version of my original email sent out earlier in the week to help keep the t-shirt ideas in one place. Below is the e-mail:
H and I were talking. We were trying to figure out who is taking part in what races. The reasoning, and I give this credit to H for coming up with the thought, takes us back to the idea of a t-shirt. Let’s say we have 12 people take part in the 3 different races over the weekend. We total up all the mileage they would accumulate and have some sort of shirt design to go something like this:
Oh, Happy Days!
215 Miles
3 Disney Races
1 BIG Family
The mileage obviously would change depending on who is registered for what. Just another idea to play with for the t-shirt ideas. Later this summer I will compile all the t-shirt ideas and send them out for a vote.
So far, by my recollection we have the following:
5K (open for registration):
P & Tk
Va & Ka
Vi
Half-Marathon (closed to registration, charitable entries may be available):
A
B & H
Full Marathon (open to registration, 60% full as of 05/08/08):
A
B
Ke
M
P
S. E.
Now, back to the 5k. The 5k race course takes you through Animal Kingdom. The Half Marathon is on much of the Marathon race course, starting and finishing at Epcot and traversing to and through the Magic Kingdom and back. However, the start point of the half is not the same as the full marathon, there for there will not be the loop around like there was this year, where you could stay in one place and see someone start and then see them on mile 4. Does that make sense? I hope so. The marathon course to my knowledge is still the same and will start and end at Epcot, taking you through the Magic Kingdom, through the Animal Kingdom, to the driveway entrance of the Wide World of Sports, through Hollywood Studios and the Disney Boardwalk.
Packet pick-up is located at the Wide World of Sports Complex at the Disney Health & Fitness Expo beginning on Thursday 3p-8p. This is important for the 5k racers, but full and half marathoners may also pick up their packets at this time. Friday’s Expo and packet pick-up hours are 9am-8pm, with Saturday’s hours being 10am-7pm.
Race times are as follows: Circle of Life 5k, Friday, 7am; Half Marathon, Saturday, 6am; Full Marathon, Sunday, 6am.

I hate to complicate things, but I think the rest of the people not running - the motivators need to get counted. Maybe we should total the number of miles we took to get there?
From experience now, I think we need a bright color shirt to stand out that we are all together.
Also, I would suggest a short slogan on the back. As everyone runs by, you are more likely to read the quick slogan.
How much more expensive is it to print on both sides?
I haven't looked into it much yet, but we can definitely print on both sides and it won't cost much extra.
And I agree, we can't leave out the motivators, we can total them as well. Eventually B and I will look at all the t-shirt ideas from everyone and try to synthesize them. We'll figure that out later in the summer.
