Parking--ARRIVE EARLY & CARPOOL
We ask that you plan to arrive early for parking. Carpool as much as possible. Parking is limited at Buzzard Roost Shelter Parking Lot. Overflow would be at the main parking lot and a good hike down the road to the shelter. 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. There is a small parking lot at Buzzard's Roost Shelter and a gravel parking lot opposite of the lane to the Buzzards Roost. Please do not park in the grass or along the roadway.
Water/Snacks
This event is CUPLESS. Please bring your own water bottle, hydration pack, or cup. Bottled Water will be available in limited supply. Water and pre packaged snacks will be available post race.
Shard Use Trail
The course is on a shared use trail with horses. Remember horses can easily be scared by runners and it is always best for your and the riders safety to approach slowly and communicate with the rider. They will typically give you guidance as to how comfortable the horse is with pedestrians. In most cases this interaction will last a few seconds, but if a very timid horse you may need to wait for the horse to pass. Thank you for being respectful to all involved.
