GETTING THERE & PARKING
Fairplex charges $10 per vehicle for parking,
CASH ONLY. They will have parking
attendants onsite to collect payment and
direct traffic.
They are asking each vehicle to have payment
ready to help minimize wait times. We
STRONGLY encourage carpooling to minimize
traffic and to find LEGAL parking nearby, if
possible, to avoid this fee.
Arrive early and please plan on extra traffic
and parking times. We recommend runners to
be parked no LATER than 8:00am. If you will
be picking up your packet on race day, please
plan to come earlier.
We recommend ALL Color Runners traveling
from the I-10 Highway to exit at Fairplex Dr.
and head North on Fairplex Drive until you
reach W. McKinley Ave. Follow the directional
signage that will lead you into Gate 17. Gate
17 will be the ONLY gate open for Color
Runners to park.
