Race Day Parking and Directions

Ride the Trolley
Riding the trolley is a great way to avoid race-day traffic and parking fees. The 12th & Imperial Trolley Station is located within one block of Gear Check and the Post-Race Party. Both the Orange and Blue Lines will be running prior to the race. Visit the MTS website for more details and to see Sunday morning trolley schedules.

Getting there by Car

Please plan for heavy traffic race morning and allow plenty of extra time to get to the parking lots surrounding the ballpark. We want to make sure all participants arrive in time to check their gear and get to the start of the race in a timely manner. We strongly encourage carpooling.

Directions
From the North: Take I-5 to Exit 16 to 10th Avenue or Exit 17 to Front Street
From The South: Take I-5 to Exit 14B, Cesar E. Chavez Parkway

PLEASE NOTE: I-5 exits at B Street/Pershing will be CLOSED to both northbound and southbound traffic race morning.
