Let’s talk parking. 🚗
We know, we know. Not the most exciting race topic. But with thousands of runners, one main road in and out, and a very busy race morning, this is one of those things you really do want to plan ahead for.
PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY! Future-you will be very grateful!
🔸 Parking for the Garden of the Gods 10 Mile, 10K, and Trail Run is located at Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site, near the start line. Use the main entrance to the park at 30th Street and Gateway Road.
🔸 Getting dropped off or taking a rideshare? Aim for Chambers Way, south of Rock Ledge Ranch. Important note: drivers will not be able to exit through the main park entrance until after the race starts, so plan accordingly.
🔸 Additional parking is available at Coronado High School, 1590 W. Fillmore St. Park there and hop on a shuttle for an easy ride to the start line. Shuttles will run continuously from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
🔸 You can also park at Howbert Elementary, 1023 N. 31st St., or along in the Pleasant Valley Neighborhood S. of Rock Ledge Ranch. Please be kind to our neighbors and do not block driveways or sidewalks.
Basically: arrive early, know your plan, and don’t make race morning parking your hardest workout of the day. 😉
