PARKING:
This is a point-to-point course. We would love for you to arrange group parking so that someone in your party parks at CRNorth and someone else drives to the start at CRS. If that is not a possibility we would prefer that you park at Council Rock North High School on race morning. We will offer shuttles to to the start at Council Rock South. Baggage will be returned to Council Rock North 10 minutes before the start of the race, to be picked up after you cross the finish line. There is no return bussing service for spectators. Please consider carpooling to alleviate parking congestion, as there is an Athletes Helping Athletes football game at Council Rock North immediately after the ROCK RUN awards presentations
