Transportation and Parking

Transportation efficiency is critical in reducing the carbon footprint of the event and we are strongly encouraging carpools, biking to the event, and using public transportation. Of course we’ll help. Here are some suggestions:
  • Ride your bike! The main roads around UCSD: Torrey Pines Road, Genesee Road, and La Jolla Village Drive all have wide bike lanes. Bike lanes in surrounding roads have been identified by San Diego Regional Commute Services. If you live close to UCSD biking may be your best option for transportation and it is the most environmentally friendly. We will have valet bike parking with security at Spanos Track.
  • Carpool with family and friends, or find other local racers through the participant map. The participant map will enable you to email event participants that near you to set up a carpool.
  • Use the MTS public transportation. There are many transit lines that service UCSD and there should be an accessible stop for most participants. Plan your transit trip through Google Trip Planner Enter your home address, UCSD, select “Transit Directions” and “Public Transit” and the service will help you find a convenient transit solution.
If you have any further questions or other ideas for transportation please let us know!

Parking is free on campus.
