Parking:
The primary parking lot is in the Southwest Recreation Complex just on the North Side of the course. Access to this lot is at the corner of Knapp St. and Sheldon Ave. Racers can walk through the back side of the course to the start, or follow Knapp St. to Hayward Ave. and head south until the reach the start line.
The over-flow lot is shared with student parking at Wallis and Wilson Residence Hall. Because this is primarily student parking, we were asked to use the SW rec complex first. There are approximately 100 spots in addition to the students that can be accessed from Mortenson Rd. (coming from the south - this is easier) or Welch Ave. (coming from the north). This lot is just west of the start line and should be a quick walk. On race day, visitor passes will not be required to use this lot, but teams arriving earlier should know that they can be ticketed if they park there any other time.
