Transportation & Parking
Everything you need to get to the start line and back · September 20, 2026
🚗 Parking on Race Day
Park at the Santa Fe Railyard Parking Garage — the race finish line is here, so your car will be waiting for you when you cross. No shuttle back needed.
💡 Pro Tip: All team relay members should also park at the Railyard — there are no return shuttles to the Eldorado start line after the race.

When you collect your race packet, you must also pick up your shuttle wristband and pre-select your departure time. Choose your wristband based on how early you want to arrive at the start line.
First Shuttle
The recommended choice. Gives you ample time for gear check, warm-up, and finding your corral at the start line.
Second Shuttle
A later option for those who prefer less waiting time at the start. Arrives shortly before race start — plan accordingly.
Relay Team Transportation Tips
Label Everything
Ensure your bag is clearly labeled with your team name and bib number. Bags are transported from the start/exchange zones to the finish line for you.
Park at the Railyard
No shuttles return to the Eldorado start line after the race. All team members should park at the Railyard — your car will be at the finish.
The Finish Line Tradition
It's tradition for the first two runners to wait near the finish chute and "run in" those last few yards together with Leg 3!
Relay Logistics
Each team consists of three runners covering 4.37 to 4.40 miles each. Instead of a baton, you carry a sash exchanged at each transition point.
- 🏁 Leg 1 starts at La Tienda Plaza (Eldorado) with the main Half Marathon field at 7:30 AM
- 🔄 Exchange Zones are along the scenic Old Las Vegas Highway
