We ask that you plan to arrive early for parking. Parking at Harrods Creek is roadside through the neighborhood. You can then walk down the drive to the small parking lot where we will have canopies and timing equipment setup for the race. Carpool as much as possible. We want to be respectful of the parks, so we are able to have many more great events in the future. Carpooling is preferred to make space for everyone planning to participate. If you are planning to run with a friend, we encourage carpooling.
