TRANSPORTATION TO RACE START AND PARKING

From downtown Bozeman allow yourself at least 45 minutes to get to the race start. The road to Hyalite is winding after you get off South 19th and will have traffic. If you carpool that will limit the pressure on parking at the start. The Forest Service has allowed a limited number of cars to park at the trail head. You will not be allowed to park along the road side.

DIRECTIONS TO RACE START FROM DOWNTOWN BOZEMAN

Drive West on Main St. to 19th Street. South on 19th for approximately 6 miles. After 19th gently curves to the west, about 3/4 mile look for Forest Service and TST signs and turn left. Stay on this road until you reach the lake (10 miles). Please obey the 35mph speed limit & enjoy the scenery.
