Parking & spectator information

BELOW YOU WILL SEE INSTRUCTIONS FROM OUR 2011 RACE.  PLEASE STAY TUNED AND RETURN FOR UPDATED INFORMATION ONCE WE HAVE FINALIZED 2012 PARKING.

Saturday, May 14,   3:30 - 8:30 p.m. (bike drop off):
Park at the new VA Center parking lot just past Bartlett High School on the right.  From the VA, it is a short walk to the transition area using the west Bartlett driveway (the same driveway that is the bike course exit and entrance).  Do not park in any Bartlett High parking lots since they are being used that day for other activities. 

Sunday, May 15:

  • Parking before 8 a.m. is in the back (east) Bartlett parking lot.  Turn right at first stoplight into Bartlett High School/Native Heritage Center and follow the road to the Bartlett back lot parking area.   If you are parked in this lot, you may face delays exiting the area as you will have to cross the run course to exit.  Please follow the directions of the volunteers when exiting.

  • Parking after 8 a.m. is in the Tikahtnu Commons parking lot.  Please follow directional signs for where the GNT designated parking will be located within Tikahtnu Commons.

  • No racer/spectator motor homeswill be permitted in designated GNT parking areas.  Our race has grown, and parking is at a premium for our racers, volunteers, and spectators.  We are very grateful to our parking sponsors for allowing us to use their lots.  If a motor home or other large vehicle tries to park in other areas of the Tikahtnu parking lots, it will be subject to the general rules for parking at Tikahtnu which are enforced by their 24-hour security personnel.

  • Handicap and media parking will be in the parking lot in front of the main entrance door at Bartlett

NOTEThis area will be very busy with traffic going in and out of the base, into Tikahtnu Commons, the Native Heritage Center, and the GNT. Please obey all traffic rules, crossing only at the stoplights and crosswalks.  We want to be good neighbors so these folks will want us to come back next year.
