Parking

  • Public Courthouse Parking Garage: Located just behind the courthouse at 143 Branner Ave. This multi-level deck is free, highly recommended by event organizers, and sits right at the race's finish line.

  • Miller Street Public Lots: Accessible by turning right from Main Street onto Miller St. These lots offer central parking spaces right in the middle of the downtown drag.

  • Montgomery Street Parking Lot: Located at 77-63 Montgomery St. This lot sits right next to the public restrooms and is a short block over from the main course layout.

  • Wall Street Parking: Both the dedicated surface lot and street spots along Wall St run parallel to Main Street, offering an easy fallback if the main garages fill up

Restrooms

There is a public restroom at 72 Montgomery Street. We will also have a portajohn at the start line and several at United Community Bank. Mast General Store has kindly given us permission to use their restrooms until they close for the day at 7pm. Stop by, say hi, and shop a little!
