spaces. No parking is permitted in “loading zones.”
Trailers must arrive on Friday October 26, 2018 between 7:00 am and sunset. (Contact the AC if you need special

1|P a g eDROPPING OFF
We provide the lot outside the State Park (Cal Trans Park & Ride) for loading and unloading. There will be customer
service carts to help transport items and people into the event from this location. Please note that carts are not for
athletes, customer service carts are for general public. If dropping supplies for team hospitality, you may unload in
the Park & Ride and the carts will help you to your tent. Vehicles may not be left unattended in the Park & Ride. No
one will be allowed into the State Park to drop off or pick up.
EVENT PARKING
Event parking is $10.00 per vehicle and is at event parking. CASH ONLY. A free shuttle will pick up at the event

We ask that teams do not place tarps on the ground under your tent, this kills the grass. We also asked that
