Parking
No personal vehicle parking will be allowed on Galbraith mountain. Runners will be required to park off mountain in designated parking lots. We recommend parking the Galbraith Mountain and Padden Trails Parking Lot off of Samish way. Runners can walk, jog, or ride bikes to the race HQ. Aspire will provide a bike corral for bike parking, we recommend bringing a bike lock.

What to Bring
Runners will be responsible for carrying their own hydration bottles, bladders, vests. These races will happen rain or shine and runners should dress accordingly. We also recommend that runners bring a drop bag containing warm layers, a change of shoes, and post race attire.
