IMPORTANT RACE MORNING INFORMATION

Streets surrounding the race site will begin closing early on race morning. Do not plan to drive directly to 288 E. Bay Street. Use the designated race parking areas and follow race signage, police directions, and traffic-control personnel when you arrive downtown.

Parking Reminder:

Your destination on race morning should be your selected parking garage or parking lot — not the start line. Review the Gate River Run parking information before race morning and know where you plan to park before leaving home.

PLAN AHEAD

Plan to arrive in Downtown Jacksonville at least 60–90 minutes before your start time to allow time for traffic, parking, walking to the race site, and getting into your assigned starting area.
