For any parents going- the race area can be a little tricky to find.  You can put Mansion Hill Rd. in Nottingham Twp in your maps and that should get you there, but sometimes there is not a good signal in the park, so best to have directions as a backup.  One common way to go is:

-take Bebout Rd. south through Peters/Venetia

-at the end make a left onto Venetia Rd.,  then a quick right on Sugar Run and stay to the right at the first Y to stay on Sugar Run

-pass the giant metal watering can (if you’ve seen it, you know) and take Sugar Run to the end

-make a left to stay on Sugar Run (there is s sign for Hamtom if you make a right but don’t do that)

-Sugar Run bears off to the right but you don’t want to do that- stay straight and it turns into Parkview

-as you come into the park bear to the left and follow signs for shelters 6-10

-follow Mingo Creek Rd to the next signs for shelters 6/7/8 and make a sharp left and another sharp left onto Mansion Hill to go up to the shelters

-parking is along there and is free but does get pretty crowded.  It’s a dead end at shelter 6 so if you gamble to find a parking space farther down you could get kind of stuck
