Materials can also be picked up on April 26, but you are highly encouraged to pick up prior to the day of the event. Please note that if you registered after the April 8 t-shirt deadline, t-shirt inventory and sizes are not guaranteed and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

🚗 Traffic and Parking

The park is under construction again this year. Traffic will only be allowed into the park to those traveling west on Henderson Rd (i.e. if you are traveling east on Henderson Rd you will not be able to make a left turn into the park: use the roundabout to get headed west to make a right turn into the park). Once in the park, participants will be directed to turn right onto Golf Course Way. From there you will turn left on Park Blvd.

Parking is available in either the Waymire Dome parking lot or the lot north of the dome. No one will be permitted to turn onto Campground Rd unless they have a handicap placard. Anyone who has a handicap placard will be permitted to turn right onto Campground Rd to proceed to the parking lot closest to the race start.

Please note that all traffic will be directed to turn right (west) onto Henderson Rd upon leaving the park.

As always, allow enough time to walk to the race start from the parking lot, carpool if you can, and be patient with your fellow humans.

🧳 What to Bring/What Not to Bring

• Weather Preparedness: Although the forecast looks great, it is April in Colorado, so please come prepared! This is a Rain, Snow, or Shine event and refunds will not be available due to weather or non-attendance.
• Food Options: This year we will have two food trucks serving breakfast burritos and sweet treats & coffee. Both trucks accept credit cards.
• Strollers: Strollers are welcome.
• Dogs: Dogs are discouraged due to the size of the event as well as park restrictions.

♿ Adaptive Devices/Extra Assistance Needed

Please email Lisle.M.Reed@:adams12.org if you will be using an adaptive device or need additional assistance, so that we can connect you with the person who will be your point of contact on the day of the event!
