Biltmore Park Town Square provides ample parking either on the street or in one of the parking decks - all within a short walk of the start line.

Stroller friendly? No problem! Our event is stroller friendly, but we do ask that if you’re not in it to win it, please start towards the back of the pack for the safety of all the participants. However, if you’re a competitive parent-child duo, and plan to be out front the entire race to win overall, feel free to start up front and show us what you’ve got!

Dog friendly? Furry friends are family too, and are welcomed as spectators on the sidelines. Due to the congestion and safety concerns, dogs cannot participate in the race itself.
