Families/Friends Pointers*:
Parking: There is a $5 charge to enter the park. Cash/card accepted. Be sure to provide enough time to park. Often there is a long line and will take an extra 20-30 minutes to enter the park and find a spot.
Where to View: This is a great course for seeing your runner multiple times. The start and finish are in close proximity and with runners making 3 loops (for the 5K), you can stay close-in to watch. Be mindful of where you cross the course and look both ways for runners. This type of race will have about 100+ runners start at a large start line, then funnel into the narrower course.
*A note for friends/families: Please remember that the safety of our runners, and you, is a priority! Be cautious when finding a spot to view the race. Stay off the course and stay out of the way as these runners will not stop for you!
