PARKING & SHUTTLES
Parking is NOT available at any parking lot adjacent to the Start/Finish Area. GORE-TEX® 50 Mile participants on Saturday and 5K participants on Sunday will be allowed to park within Fort Barry at designated locations only. Shuttles will be provided for all participants and spectators to and from the event.
For GORE-TEX® 50 Mile and 5K runners, it is important to note that while some parking is available, it is very limited and may be unable to accommodate all participants. To guarantee a timely arrival at the start line, it is suggested that participants who are able to utilize one of the shuttle options take advantage of them.
