PARKING/DIRECTIONS/SHUTTLE
DIRECTIONS TO RACE
- The location of the race is very near to the intersection between Route 88/Libary Rd., Baptist Rd., and Corrigan Dr. in Bethel Park, but the race takes place in South Park.
- Follow Rt. 88 South from Rt. 51 to this intersection. You will see a sign: "Welcome to South Park" at the corner of Corrigan Dr. and Library Rd.
- Head through the intersection, bearing slightly left so that the sign is on your right side.
- About a quarter of a mile down Corrigan Dr., you will see the South Park Ice-Skating Rink on the right side of the road. Park in the parking lot of the rink.
- The race will be starting on 100 Acre Dr, Bethel Park, PA 15102, which is across from the skating rink parking lot (you can locate it on Google Maps it if you wish).
- A crossing guard will be present to help you cross Corrigan Dr. safely.
If you are taking the free shuttle from Oakland, shuttles will be leaving from in front of the Pittsburgh Athletic Association building at the corner of the Fifth Avenue and Bigelow Blvd., beginning at 8:00 am until 8:30 am on the morning of the race (April 3rd).
If you indicate that you plan to use the shuttle on race day, a seat will be provide for you. You will be dropped off in a parking lot next to the start of the race. After the race, you will catch the shuttle back to Oakland from the same location. There will be signs and volunteers to direct you from the parking lot to check-in. Volunteers will be wearing lime green-colored shirts.
