12 GETTING TO THE EVENT With record numbers expected, we recommend you arrive at the event precinct 1 hour prior to your start time to allow sufficient time to travel to the event and get yourself ready to run. Please allow extra time to drop off your warm clothing bag, go to the toilet, grab a coffee, and walk down to the start line. We highly suggest that all competitors take public transport on the day, due to limited parking space, traffic congestion on race-day and the convenience and close proximity of public transport from the start line and MCG. RACE DAY PUBLIC TRANSPORT It is strongly recommended that registrants use Public Transport to get to the Event. Catch the train to Jolimont, Flinders St or Richmond Station and walk to the MCG concourse. PARKING The closest parking will be available at Yarra Park, through Gate 5 for $10 via card only– enter off Punt Rd. Gates open at 4amwith limited capacity and will fill very quickly. All other gates are closed, however there are several non-ticket parking areas that surround the MCG. ROAD CLOSURES Road closures surrounding the MCG will affect your access to parking and surrounding areas of the Event Precinct. For maps and more information on how to avoid these road closures, please visit our website. BIKES There are a number of bicycle hoops located next to the stadium in Yarra Park. Please do not park your bike on the MCG concourse. DROP OFF LOCATION There are Drop & Go locations on Wellington Parade and Olympic Boulevard for those using a ride share service or are being dropped off by a friend / family member.
