Due to COVID-19 precautions, we will not provide shuttle service or gear check this year. The relay and quarter marathon both start and finish at Lokomotion, so participants may consider parking at Lake Fayetteville. The half marathon starts at Lokomotion and ends at the Walton Arts Center parking lot in downtown Fayetteville.
