• Click here for a map of traffic flow around Deerhurst Resort and the Airstrip

• It is important to understand that there is no parking at Deerhurst over the course of the weekend unless you have been designated a spot through Deerhurst Staff specifically (as a weekend guest). All athletes (unless staying at Deerhurst or Hidden Valley) must be bused in from the Deerhurst Airstrip. Not to worry about the busing progra.  We polled our athletes after each event in 2008 and 2009 and they all felt that the busing program was terrific with very little wait time.
• The airstrip is located approximately a 5 minute bus ride to the transition area.
• On Sunday we will add more buses to the mix in order to make sure all athletes are to the race site bright and early. Buses will begin leaving the airstrip at 5:30 am. On Sunday we suggest that spectators be patient and allow the athletes first opportunity on the buses. We estimate that buses will leave every 15 minutes from the airstrip to Deerhurst. Family and friends can catch up with the athletes on site before the race.
• Buses will increase in capacity for the needs of athletes and families coming in and leaving to and from the Welcome Banquets as well.
• Buses will also return athletes, spectators and family back to the airstrip throughout the day. Spectators can catch the bus at the corner by the entrance to the golf course on Deerhurst Drive. East side of the transition zone.
