Parking
Parking is limited in Jerome so we ask that you plan accordingly and give yourself enough time to park in the main parking lot past the Fire Department building (see photo), and then walk/jog to the start line (approximately one mile downhill). There is absolutely no parking or dropping off at the start line.

Please Note:
Spectators are NOT allowed to drive on the course! For the safety and enjoyment of the runners, DON’T drive on the course. The dirt road is narrow and dusty. Stop at the lot behind the firehouse and walk along the course to watch the runners.
