During multi-lap options each lap passes the Celebration Area where earlier finishers and spectators may be present.
Check-in is located at the Start/Finish area just south of the trail entrance at the boat launch. Parking is available at the Galena Boat Ramp off Africa Road; participants should park only in designated parking areas and avoid parking on the grass or along the road.
