Q: Where do I park? How do I get there?
A: Roads close early so you really need to be here by 7:15 am in the morning, particularly if you are driving and parking. Wheelchairs start at 8:00 am from downtown. Runners come in waves starting at about 8:15. If you are biking or walking you can cross Penn Avenue until then. If you drive, park on Kenwood Parkway and then walk around the block as we are on the west side of Penn Avenue right before Lake of the Isles Parkway. After a certain time, often a little after 7:15 you can’t cross Penn Avenue to get to the parkway as they have it closed. Then you must park to the east of Penn Avenue and walk to get to us. The easiest would be to park in Kenwood Elementary School parking lot and walk two blocks south and cross the street! But you must do that no later than 8:00 am! You can’t miss us!
