Directions/Parking
There is no parking at Hopkins Point Lodge so the athletes can safely compete.
There are two spots for parking
-
- If you arrive before 5:45PM and park at Hopkins Point Lodge, do not plan to leave until after 8:30PM. Basically you are relegated to staying there until the end. We need to make sure all athletes in their events have a safe egress on the course without fear of cars.
- Best (Closest) Parking is on Hopkins Point Rd from the CLOVER RD ENTRANCE. We call this the 2nd entrance into the park. You can park along that road and there are some smaller gravel parking areas as well.
- 2nd Best Parking is at the lots on CANFIELD RD. This is a further "warm up" but you are able to park here too.
PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO WALK/JOG TO HOPKINS POINT.
The course is on Hopkins Point Rd from the lodge to Canfield. After 5:45PM YOU CAN NOT DRIVE DOWN THAT ROAD FROM CANFIELD NOR CLOVER. Please park at the two spots noted above other wise you are completely locked in for the duration of the night with no exit.
