PARKING:
Race parking is only available at 1 Hollow Lane OR 3333 New Hyde Park Road. Please note that there is NO Parking at the school! (Parking at the school is for Volunteers or Sponsors with a pass only - which will be strictly enforced). It's only a short 6-7 minute walk to the school so please plan accordingly. You should plan to park no later than 8:00am as the LIE Service road will be closed at that time. This will also give you sufficient time to get to the starting line. After that time the only access to race parking will be via New Hyde Park Road, Exit 34.
