Race Day
Parking & Drop-Off
Four parking lots, one drop-off zone, and one goal — getting you to transition stress-free before the gun.
Race Day · Hard Close
Reef Point & Pelican Point lots close at 6:30 AM
Both lots hard close at 6:30 AM — no entry after that, for any reason. PCH itself stays open (traffic runs both directions on the northbound side), but you will not be able to get into these lots. VIP and Premium Parking athletes: Reef Point is your lot — be parked by 6:30 AM. Gates open at 5:00 AM and suggested arrival is 5:30 AM. Running late? Los Trancos and Moro never close.
Packet Pickup Day · Saturday, September 18
Free parking at Reef Point for check-in
Athlete check-in and packet pickup run 8am-12pm on Saturday. Park at Reef Point for free — no kiosk, no fee. Grab your packet, scope the venue, and head home rested.
Athlete Drop-Off
PCH at the Reef Point Gate
Have a friend drive you in? The drop-off zone is on Pacific Coast Highway at the Reef Point entrance — at the bus stop, just south of the gate. Quick stop, then it is a short walk in.
