The race will start at 9am sharp so be sure to arrive early to grab your bib. UVA parking and transportation will have the gates lifted at the South Garage located at 380 Crispell Dr, Charlottesville, Virginia (location circled on map attached) for everyone to park. We will attached a map of the 5k course as the date gets closer. Roads will not be closed so we would like to emphasize safety procedures of sticking to the sidewalk and being aware of vehicles and pedestrians. Race volunteers will be situated at large road crossings to aid in keeping everyone safe.
