Here is some important and detailed information about packet pick-up, aid stations, parking, transportation, post-race party, etc...

Race Day Transportation: PLEAES READ!!
We will have transportation to the start line from Durango Fitness Club (1600 Florida Rd.) as usual.
However, if you have the ability to make your own transportation arrangements to the start line at Bakers Bridge and have someone drop you off at the start, we encourage you to do so!! 
This will ease the strain on our transportation and make for a less stressful morning for all participants and allow us to start on time.  
If that is not an option for you..
We will have a two buses and one (15) passenger van that will begin shuttling runners from the Durango Fitness Club at 6:30am on a first come first served basis. 
Rest assured, we will get everyone to the start line who needs a ride and we will NOT start the race until everyone is at the start line
Thank you for your cooperation and patience!
