Runner Drop-off - STRONGLY ENCOURAGED
If you want to avoid parking hassles, ask a family member or friend to drop you off at the start line! Manitou Avenue will remain open from U.S. 24 to the 400 block. At that point, a runner drop-off line is available for runners to exit the vehicle; vehicles then make a U-Turn to the left and can exit Manitou Springs on Manitou Avenue.
Parking at the Briarhurst Manor is for VOLUNTEERS ONLY (pass required). Please do not park in Resident Areas, No Parking Zones, Employee Parking Lots, or Fire Lanes. Due to various construction projects occurring throughout the City of Manitou Springs, we strongly encourage runner carpooling and runner drop off whenever possible. Note that the city shuttles may operate on modified schedules due to the various road closures related to the PPMA event weekend. Plan accordingly and give yourself ample time to make it to the start line.
