Safari Parking
5K will take place at Lake Shelby.
Please note that Shelby Lake is located across the street from The Lodge at Gulf State Park. There is some parking available there, however most participants will need to park in the overflow parking lot near The Lodge and then take the foot bridge over the road.
The red P in the image on the left indicates the overflow parking.
The blue line indicates the entrance to the foot bridge that takes you across the street.
