Parking/Shuttle
VIP Marathon Parking
All Marathon Registrants will receive VIP Parking passes at Packet Pick Up to park steps away from the Start Line. This parking lot is the Richard A. Carlucci Recreation and Aquatic Center lot. The close proximity of this lot to the Start/Finish Line will allow marathoners to leave their gear bags in their locked cars/trunks, and still have quick access to them upon finishing their race. This lot will ONLY be available to Marathoners - must have pass to enter.

*Note: that the lot will be just north of the Aquatic Center Main Building
General Parking without a Shuttle Option
We have some great options especially for those running the half marathon. Franklin Park and White Lick Trail head both offer additional parking with a short warm up walk or run to the start. Lots are .6 and .82 miles to the start finish line.
Please Note: Both of these are in the path of the course. US 40 will close at 7am. You may not be able to leave immediately especially if you run the 5k. We expect that you will be able to exit both lots by 10am, possibly sooner based on race progress.
Overflow and Spectator Parking / Shuttle - All 5k participants and Non-VIP Half Marathoners
We have partnered with the Plainfield Community School District to provide limited shuttle services. We will have 2 school buses available to take participants from the overflow parking area to the start/finish line. Shuttles will start at 0600 and the last one will depart at 0700. The early shuttles are only for participants. You must have a race bib or show your confirmation email to get on the bus. The shuttle will resume making trips from 0800 to 1200.
You may also choose to walk/warm up run the paved trail system (no traffic crossings!) 1.22 miles to the Start Line. A restroom facility is available for use in this park. Take your Gear bags with you on the shuttle bus to our Units Gear Check Station.

VIP Half Marathon Parking - SOLD OUT
The first 150 Half Marathon registrants will also be given VIP Parking passes for the The Richard A. Carlucci Recreation and Aquatic Center lot located steps from the start line (see map above). (SOLD OUT 5/29/2025) This lot will be accessible only to those with a parking pass. Race participants will also have access to the Recreation & Aquatic Center Building for restrooms, locker rooms, and lockers. The close proximity of this lot to the Start/Finish Line (about .1 mile away) will allow participants to leave their gear bags in their locked cars/trunks, and still have quick access to them upon finishing their race. Participants may also bring their own lock and utilize the lockers inside the facility. We do recommend sharing a locker with family/friends if you can. Keep in mind that we will have folks in an overflow lot with their cars a mile away, save the gear check lockers for them if you can!
