Packet pickup is at Coolidge Park on Friday, October 23 (3 to 6 PM) and Saturday, October 24 (9 AM to 6 PM, with the expo). Most runners arrive Friday or Saturday and stay through race morning, so the usual stay is Friday and Saturday night, checking out Sunday.
Saturday also has a shakeout run from the Blue Rhino, with stretching at 7:40 AM and a 5K at 8 AM.
The Renaissance RiverPark lot is $10 for the day, and there is a $10 all-day garage near the movie theater at 351 Broad St. Metered spaces are free on Sundays. The race asks runners not to park at 2 Northshore near Whole Foods and Rock Creek: cars there are towed.
Tremont Avenue is closed from Frazier to the roundabout from 6:30 AM to 2 PM, and the 4th Street entry and Manufacturers Rd exit close from 6 to 9 AM. Veterans Bridge and Amnicola Highway are partly closed 6 to 10 AM.
The race's partner-hotel room blocks have booking deadlines: two closed on September 23, and two more close on October 9 and October 10. The stays on this page are not part of a block, so they can still be booked after those dates, as long as they remain available.
