PARKING
Yup, I know I'm beating a dead horse but read the General Info section for details on parking. Please don't be the one person who thinks this parking rule doesn't apply to them. The Boreas Pass Trailhead parking area is small. More importantly there are other users that we need to be mindful of. Besides, most of us don't warm-up well enough before races and this forces you to do so. Bet you have a better race as a result AND your car will be waiting for you at the finish.
