ROUTES, PARKING & CHECK-IN

Upon arrival, make sure to check in at 113 South Ashley St and prepare to line up just up the road at Ann Arbor Running Company for both the 5k and fun run/walk.

Our fun run/walk will conclude at Washtenaw Dairy located at 602 S Ashley St.

Public parking meters and DDA parking lots are free on Sundays. A nearby DDA parking structure is located at 220 N Ashley St. If you need accessible parking, you can plan to use this Park Rite lot accessible via First St. Note that this is a paid lot.

View city parking map.

Please account for traffic coming in! There is construction on I94 and US 23 and streets in Ann Arbor will be closed close to race time so plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of time to get checked in and enjoy our pre-race activities and programing.

NOTE: We prefer if folks can leave their pet family at home. We have over 400 participants, some running and others walking. We want the pups and our participants to be safe.
