Race Day Logistics and Parking
THE EVENT WILL BEGIN PROMPTLY AT 8:00 A.M., PLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE EARLY ENOUGH TO GET TO THE START LINE BEFORE 8:00 A.M.
Please consider carpooling to the event. Drop off will be directly behind the Recreation Center on Central Street, you will be able to drive in, drop off, and pull right back out on to Central Street.
The main entrance to IRP will be closed before the race to allow people to access the gazebo safely before the race if needed. Entrance to IRP by vehicle will be by the Recreation Center (white Cape-style house). See the attached PDF for a map showing where parking will be available. On race day, volunteers will be inside Ipswich River Park directing drivers to parking spots. It may take you some time to park so please do not wait until the last minute to arrive at IRP.

If bibs and shirts were not picked up on Monday evening or before at the pre-race pick up, they will be available at the gazebo inside Ipswich River Park starting at 6:45 A.M.

FUELING STRONG, one of our sponsors, will lead a warmup in the grass field area next to Central Street beginning at 7:15 A.M. for those that want to participate!
The start/finish line will be in the paved parking area of IRP. At 7:45 A.M. participants will be asked to begin moving down the path by the gazebo, heading toward the back section of IRP (where the tennis courts are). This will allow folks to enter the starting chute in an orderly fashion, moving to the START line in preparation for the race to head out toward Central Street via the main entrance to the park.
