Hey everyone!!

Just a few items to share.

Firstly is parking. There are several options for parking. At the event address there is parking up to the marina and the southeast lot on Lakeview Drive will be open. There is parking at the West Beach in the lot as well as along the north and south side of Caille. There is street parking on West River street by the ball park as well as the lot at Optimist Park. These will have you walking down to the park which would be about a 5- 10 minute walk (nice little warm up)

Registration, bib and shirt pickup is available from 5-6:20 at the start line which is the north east parking lot on Lakeview Drive. Please allow ample time for this and plan for a line up.

Please feel free to hang around after the race for a post stretch with Luke, one of our fantastic yoga instructors, please bring along a yoga mat which can be left at the pavilion during the run/walk.

Refreshments under the pavilion as the sunsets!

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to [email protected] or text at 5199806548

Super excited to see you all there!!
