*More Very Important Details*
Please take the following three points seriously, our continued enjoyment
of this venue depends on it.
*Washington Park is a public park* - It will remain open to the public
during this event. The race ONLY has permission to close down the streets
during this event. DO NOT block walkways, sidewalks or any other path that
may inhibit park guests from also enjoying the park while we are there. We
will do our best to have volunteers to help direct park foot traffic around
and through the course, but please also help any park goers you may see to
keep things safe.
*Respect the Neighbors* - Washington Park and the race course is surrounded
on the North side by the Arlington Heights Neighborhood. They have been
subject to many unauthorized "races" that disrupt the park and their
neighborhood. Please think about this while attending the event. Use the
provided toilets, don't park in front of their houses, drive slowly through
their neighborhood and please try and stay quiet when coming and going.
Also, please pick up your trash and leave the park better than you found it.
*Parking is limited, please ride there* - The race course is taking up one
of the parking lots and some street parking at the Rose Garden. This will
limit the amount of parking that is available for regular park visitors and
race participants. If you are coming from the Portland area, please think
about riding to the event or taking mass transit. If you are coming from
out of town, please try to carpool.
