Where should I park?

  • 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

  • Yes! We suggest signing up for the Walker category for safety but use your best judgement for your pace and preference.
