Check a sweater or other items at our Gear Bag Drop at the start line in Black Diamond and we will transport your bag and have it ready for your pickup when you cross the finish line at the Farmers Market. Our Alliance Church ladies are borrowing a brand-new, never-used cargo trailer from Bar T-5 Agra Services to move your stuff around!!! We would suggest Relay runners transport their own gear although the gear check is for everyone.

At the Millarville Racetrack finish area, we will have ample signage and a team of volunteers directing you to parking and to pre-race shuttle buses (participants only on the buses). At the start area, while there is parking behind Oilfields Arena, we would suggest you can better avoid traffic and congestion by looking at the ample street parking surrounding the Arena, the high school and the elementary school, then take a few minutes to walk over to the start area at the Arena. Please respect resident driveways when you park.
