I haven't decided whether I'm going to fly or drive yet, but a carpool would make me more inclined to drive. From where I live in Grand Rapids, MI, my route would take me through the Ann Arbor (or possibly through Detroit, depending on carpooling), Cleveland and Pittsburgh areas. My car can fit 2-3 additional people depending on luggage and gets good gas mileage.

Gets the cake.
Depending on whether I'll have people coming with me or not (d4rw1n might be coming with me, depending on whether he's able to be in the USA at the time) I'll take amtrak or possibly drive up. If I drive, I'll make sure to update and make a post about it, because I'll be coming from north GA and would be able to pick up at least 1 other person. Don't depend on this, however, since it's still totally up in the air.

Where in northern GA? I lived there for most of my life! Now I'm on Long Island, so...a bit far from home. Speaking of which, I have an SUV so anyone in the LI or CT area that may need a ride, I can take quite a few and have lots of space for any bags as well.
I think I might go for am Amtrak train route, though the nearest one to the actual location seems to be from Atlantic City to PA, changing trains to go to Burke, VA...which still leaves quite a gap to the hotel. I could try carpooling, but the only person coming into my state as of now still does require me to travel a bit of a ways to meet up with them...I suppose that's better than having to hop trains in PA and then getting dumped in Burke, though. Like I said, bear with me, I've never done solo traveling on this scale before, so I'm just really not sure yet. Thank god I've still got a few months to plan this out.
I'm not your buddy, guay!
I'll be driving from Pittsburgh, PA. I usually take 68 across Maryland. I'll only be going for 3 or 4 days and which days I go will depend on the schedule (wherever the Zelda block is haha) but that's all I can really afford to take off from work. So I don't really anticipate picking anyone else up unless our schedules just happen to align.

I live in Ellijay. Not a lot of people from there, but a lot of people know of it for the Apple Festival.

I'm going to be driving in from Waterloo (near Toronto, Ontario, en-route from Montreal/Ottawa) again.
Here's a rough idea of my route, however it would likely deviate significantly more east through NY/Penn if I'm picking up ZachSK again (which is likely). If I am indeed picking up Zach, there's maybe room for 1-2 more (assuming they aren't taking much gear).

this seems preferable, as you have some idea where i live and the ride was enjoyable/tolerable
I'm not 100% on going to the marathon yet, but I'll be driving if I do. My route is alterable but I'll be travelling from Northwest Indiana.
Also, on another note, if people are going to need rides from the other airports that the shuttle doesn't cover, I dont mind covering for that again this year. We'll have to see whats going on with it closer to the marathon.

driving from NJ. Around 3 and a half hours according to Gmaps. Head south on 95 etc etc. Easy peasy.
If you can avoid it, try going around I-95. I guarantee you'll save a bit of time (and more importantly, gas). Sure, longer distance, but much less idling. Just my two cents though.

Well, any self-respecting speedrunner should take the route that has the potential to be the fastest, even if it means taking the risk of it being several hours slower. Speedrunner's life. This could be 3 minutes faster, but also likely to slow us down by 2 hours? Let's go, man, let's go.

And if we miss the glitch, we use reset strats, right?
