Race Day Parking

With a huge increase in registrations this year, we have developed parking plans near the Start/Finish Line and in our Downtown. Please plan accordingly.

IMPORTANT!!!
North Shore Drive NE will close to all traffic at 5:15 am.

All Participants

• Please carpool as much as possible.
• If you are getting dropped off (friends, Uber, etc.), please exit your vehicle at the intersection of Beach Drive and 9 Avenue NE. It is a short walk to the start/finish line, and your driver will NOT get caught in traffic when leaving the area.
• If you are NOT in the Marathon, do not drive to the North Shore Parking Lot on race morning, as you will just add to delays, congestion, and frustration.
• If you have a handicap pass and need to park near the S/F line, you must display your pass on your dashboard and be parked by 5:15 am.

Marathon Parking Only – You Must Be In By 5:15 a.m.

We have reserved the closest parking for Marathoners to avoid a long walk back to their vehicles after completing 26.2 miles:

• North Shore Park: These limited parking spots are closest to the Start/Finish Line. You MUST have a Marathon NORTH SHORE PARKING PASS to park here. They will be distributed on a first-come basis during each packet pickup session.
• Tennis Court Parking: This lot is ¼ mile north of the Start/Finish Line. Once ALL the parking passes are distributed for the North Shore Park lot, the next batch of Marathon TENNIS COURT PARKING PASSES will be provided on a first-come basis during packet pickup.
• After all Parking Passes have been distributed, Marathoners will need to park in the neighborhood streets between North Shore Drive NE and Beach Drive NE (see map).
• Avoid the streets designated on the Parking Map with barricades at North Shore Drive NE, to prevent a traffic jam at the end of these streets.
• Reminder: North Shore Drive NE will close at 5:15 am. Arrive early!
• If you are late, please see the parking recommendations below.

Halfathon Parking

• You can park on most downtown streets using Parkmobile (see map).

• Sundial Parking Lot on 2nd Avenue N. at University Way (2nd St. N.) You can access this parking lot from either 2nd Avenue N. and University Way (2nd St. N.)
• From the downtown area, the Pier Parking lot, and the Sundial Parking lot, it is a short walk, less than 1 mile, to the Start/Finish Line.
