🚗 PARKING + SHUTTLE

⚠️ The shuttle is FULL. No seats remain at this time.

The shuttle is not required, Sandy Point / Lucky Peak Park remain a publicly accessible area.

✅ If you added the shuttle to your registration
Your seat is reserved. Park at the shuttle lot:

• Idaho Shakespeare Festival lot, 5657 E Warm Springs Ave, Boise

• Shuttles to the start run every 15 minutes, 6:15–8:15 AM

• Return shuttles run every 15 minutes, 10:15 AM–2:00 PM

• Marathon + Half runners: take an earlier shuttle so you make your 8:00 AM start

• There is a walk from the shuttle drop to the start and finish line area.

🚫 If you did NOT add the shuttle
You can’t ride the shuttle, so plan to drive, carpool, or get dropped off.

• Park at Sandy Point / Lucky Peak State Park. Spots are limited, so arrive early.

• $7 per vehicle, cash only. You pay this even if no attendant is there.

• Free with an Idaho State Parks Passport

• Carpooling or getting dropped off helps save spots for everyone.

Both parking options require a walk to the start and finish area, roughly 10-12 minutes. We welcome glowsticks, headlamps, flashlights, and great energy as you make your way to the start line!

Gear Drop will be in a marked tent near the start/finish line.

1. Gear Drop tags will be distributed at Fleet Feet Packet Pickups.

2. You will receive a wristband for your bag, and a wristband to be worn on race day (which will have matching numbers pairing the racer, to the tagged bag)

3. All items in Gear Drop must be picked up by 3:00 pm after the race.

A volunteer will monitor the Gear Drop, but is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please pack light and only bring what you need for the day!
