Parking

Parking is going to be our toughest aspect of race morning - but we wanted to use up all the parking in the area to allow as many people as we can to participant/experience the trails. 

Please CARPOOL if you are able. 

The areas with the green squares are your parking. The main parking lot will be across the road from the start/finish line. We also have two areas of parking that will be overflow (you will be shuttled to the start line). 

Parking at Trail Head

For the area right at the trail head "Elk River Trail - Dundon Trailhead" please see the image below. IF you park here - DO NOT BLOCK THE TRAIL. You will see a red line (in the image) of the trail (which is the race route) so please keep that clear. A shuttle bus will be at the top of the hill to transport you to/from the start/finish line! 

Finisher Medals!

Finisher Medals will go to the first 200 registered!
