Parking

It is a State Forest so unfortunately (actually fortunately) there is not a great big paved parking lot for everyone to pull up and unload their gear.
We will do our best to make the parking situation as easy and as organized as possible, but please be patient and our event volunteers will direct you to a spot.

Once you enter Red Hill Rd, there is a large dirt lot on the right side where teams can park and set up tents, marquees, etc. Just past this parking area and up the hill a bit there is more parking on the left and right of the fire road. We want to save as much of this area as possible for tents, but parking here is ok. The main areas of parking will be farther up the fire road past transition. At the top of the road are two large parking areas for competitors. It is only a short hike back down the hill, but if you have lots of gear we suggest bringing a trolley. Again, please follow directions from our helpful volunteers and parking will be a snap.
