To get to SOAR's rally area in the Old LA Zoo picnic area:
- Take the 5 Freeway to the Los Feliz Boulevard exit.
- Drive west on Los Feliz Boulevard to the first light and turn right (north) on Crystal Springs Road.
- After 1.5 miles, turn left on Fire Rd.
- After turning onto Fire Rd take your second right into Merry Go Round Lot 1 parking area just before the road ends.
- Drive to the back of Lot 1 and continue 1/3 of a mile along the access road to Merry Go Round Lot 2 on your right. Look for Coach's truck and SOAR's flag here.
- Use the following address for GPS navigation if needed: MERRY GO ROUND LOT 2, Griffith Park.
With a race start time of 7:30am we are on a SUPER TIGHT Timeline Sunday morning! Allow adequate time for safe travel, traffic, and parking. Rally time at Lowes is 530am if following me to the event location. 630am rally time if meeting us at the event. Rally location is in Merry Go Round Lot 2 close to the picnic area of the Old LA Zoo.
Look for SOAR flag to guide you in. Race packets distributed by 6:45a at Coach Kevin's truck. 7:00 pre race. 7:15 we walk to the line. Race goes off at 730a. Complex carbo load/hydration before 7p , and rest will be essential through Saturday evening guys! This run is no joke. Since early December you've all officially crossed over to the elite side of distance running - where people get hurt if they screw around with their nutrition and rest regiment so don't tempt fate.
