There is no parking at the start area! Parking is in the Calhoun Executive Center’s lot at the corner of Calhoun Parkway and Excelsior Boulevard (the Executive Center has a sailboat on the roof).  Participants and spectators are strongly encouraged to park at the Calhoun Executive Center, just across the parkway from the north end start area. 

At 9:05 a.m. a shuttle bus will carry spectators and participants to Brownie Lake and Wirth Beach.

From 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. the shuttle bus will run between Brownie Lake and Wirth Beach

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the shuttle bus will run between the Executive Center, Wirth Beach and Brownie Lake. There will only be one shuttle bus so participants in a rush should make other arrangements.

Spectators may find that bicycling is the best means of watching the race. An extensive system of parkways runs adjacent to most of the course. (See http://www.minneapolisparks.org for more information).
