Bus Parking

On Friday, April 3rd, buses may pull into the main parking drop off area to allow athletes to disembark.

For Friday only, buses may proceed to the "boathouse" side of the venue, across the highway from the drop off area. 

On race day, buses will not be allowed to park on the boathouse side and will be directed to proceed to Laurel Park for the remainder of the day or return to the hotel until passenger pickup is requested.

Bus drivers wishing to return to the venue area during the day should make arrangements with their team coaches or managers.

No parking will be allowed along Clark's Bridge Road.  This policy will be strictly enforced and cars will be towed if necessary

Athlete Bus Pickup on Saturday

Buses will follow the same traffic pattern for pick up as the drop off instructions.  Please follow the directions of the traffic control persons at the venue.
