Parking
On race day, Sunday May 5th, here are your options to get to the event.
Metro Gold/L Line stop at Soto & 1st is a short walk to the event. Cross Soto and walk east on 1st street one block then turn right/south on Mathews until it deadends, turn left and you will see the start/line line. Keep walking past the start/finish line and to the festival/expo where you will pick up your bib.
Please car pool or arrive very early, parking is scarce in this area of the city.
Parking options:

- These two lots will fill up quickly. You will only be able to access these two lots if you drive down 6th Street west bound from Soto. Other streets will be closed. You will not be able to exit either of these lots between 6am and 930am so DO NOT PARK HERE if you need to leave quickly after the 5K.

City Streets - Various
- There are many legal parking spots in the surrounding neighborhoods but most will be taken by the residents. Do not park on any street that is part of the race route or your car will be towed. Commercial area's, for instance, near the Northgate Market on Soto, are more likely to have open spots on the street, many of the residential streets will be full with the cars of the people who live in the neighborhood.
