We think there is sufficient parking at the Citrus Park Sports Association. This is close to the start/finish line.
There is also mall parking which is a short warm up run/walk to the start line and a nice cool-down run after the race.
Please arrive early to get a good and consider car pooling.
*Portable Bathrooms are located at the north end of the Citrus Park Parking lot. We hope the park's bathrooms will be open as well.
Yes!
Gobble, gobble
