Event details and schedule
PARKING & DIRECTIONS
Parking is available on the Avondale streets. Last year we had problems with the train blocking many people, so we advise everyone NOT to come from 1st Ave N. We suggest you take 3rd/4th Ave exit from Hwy31/280. The train will most likey be there and we do not want you to be late to the race.
Awards featuring Ugandan and local prizes will include 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall runner, AND the first place runner in each male and female age category.
