​Parking is $7 per day.

Please bring $7 cash, exact change is appreciated. This will keep lines short on race morning. Volunteers will receive free camping on their volunteer day if signed up to volunteer in advance.

Shuttle

​
A free shuttle will be provided for all racers, spectators and community members from Sunnyside Park to Lewis Creek Park. There is ample parking at Sunnyside Park for those who are arriving later after Lewis Creek parking has filled or the road closure has begun, so please feel free to park there and ride the shuttle to and from the race.


The shuttle is a Linn county bus. We will also be running a cargo/box truck with a bike rack in it following the shuttle bus to transport bikes and other large gear to and from the race. It’s only 1 mile, so you could ride your bike to the race start.

​We would love for you to join us for BBQ and beverages on the house. We also want to make getting to and from your home as easy as possible during the road closures. 

2 weeks out from the event, residents of N. River Dr, Sunnyside Rd and Marks Ridge should receive a local access pass in the mail for your vehicle. If we did not collect your mailing address at the race in years past, you can send it to us at any time via email or a phone call. 

Thanks for sharing your community and roads with all of us! It's a beautiful area!
