Off-Site Parking Options
Parking is limited at Fletcher's Cove, and we must leave spaces open for the general public, as it's a National Park and open to the public even during races
Thus we want as many participants as possible to park off-site, so that we leave some parking spaces available at Fletcher's Cove for the general public. Off-site parking options:
For only $10.00 extra, we offer round-trip Red Top Cab rides from our host hotel Crystal City Marriott at Reagan National Airport, located at 1999 Richmond Highway, Arlington, VA 22202-3526 (703-413-5500) to Fletcher's Cove on race day, departing at 7:00 AM and arriving about 7:20 AM
Please register for the taxi service in advance
From westbound Canal Road, Red Top Cab drops you off at Reservoir Road, at the entrance to Fletcher's Cove
Please cross Canal Road CAREFULLY to get to Fletcher's Cove
For the return trip after you finish, see the on-site Transportation Director. After you finish, as we get groups of 4 finishers, we call Red Top Cab for a ride back to Courtyard by Marriott
