Additionally, avoid parking along any part of the race route, which includes San Isidro Rd., Candelaria Blvd., Rio Grande Blvd., and Griegos Rd. Note that Griegos Elementary School, located just north of Valley Pool Rd, is also not a designated parking area.

All participants and spectators are asked to enter the Valley High School parking lot via Candelaria Blvd only. Parking spaces are available on both the front (south) and north sides of the school. Please remember that parking on Valley Pool Rd is strictly prohibited.

The finish line is at Griegos Elementary School Field, north of Valley Pool Road, where race-day registration and post-race activities also take place.

This is a Gun Start with a timing chip finish; official timing begins when the gun sounds. Out-of-town participants can pick up packets at Griegos Elementary School Field on race day. All runners must wear their timing chip/bib visibly on the front to be ranked and eligible for awards.
