Our race-day parking is limited to the Stegosaurus Park-n-Ride Lot on the east side of Highway 93 (Hog Back Rd.), south of I-70. (Jefferson County Open Space requires that we not park in the Matthews/Winters parking lot.) For the safety of runners, there will be no dogs allowed on the racecourse. |
