General Information
Parking
Overnight: Ridgeview Classical School, 1800 South Lemay, Fort Collins. Parking will be available at Ridgeview Classical School for all participants and volunteers. If you will be staying overnight, please park in the school parking lot. If you are dropping people off—please park on Stuart (just East of the school) so we are sure to have enough parking for everyone staying overnight. Volunteers will be directing traffic on Friday morning.
Lunch (Cheering Locations for family & Friends)
We hope you’ll invite your family and friends to join you for lunch. Parking at lunch is limited, so please ask your friends to carpool if possible. We ask those who are cheering for walkers to park as far from the set-up area as reasonable – there are many volunteers who need to come and go and load and unload supplies.
Finish Line Festival
There is plenty of parking in the lot next to Edora park.
Sleeping Arrangements
We will be sleeping indoors in school classrooms. Showers are available and we will provide towels. If you do not wish to stay at the school, you may stay at a local hotel. Hotel shuttle service is NOT available to and from the school. If you are not staying at the school, be sure to let the walker manager know when you are checking in at the end of the route each day.

Upon finishing the route each day, walkers are asked to check back in with the volunteer located at the Finish Line. If you will not be staying at the school for the night, please tell the finish line volunteer at this time. You are encouraged to stay for dinner and for all of the evening celebrations.
