PARKING
Plenty of parking will be available to runners at Johnson Volvo Cars Durham: 966 Southpoint Autopark Blvd, Durham, NC 27713
Participants will need to access the start/finish venue from NC-751 on race morning and not from Highgate Drive to avoid road closures.
Runners can take I-40 to Exit 274 and then turn directly onto Southpoint Autopark Blvd from NC-751 to reach the start area.
GEAR CHECK & RESTROOMS
Given the amount of parking within close proximity of the start/finish line, we will not be offering gear check.
There will be port-o-johns available near the start/finish area race on race day, as well as at each hydration station.
