There is additional parking nearby, which the marshals will direct you to. Roadside parking is not permitted since you will be obstructing traffic and may be towed.
  • ·         We suggest carpooling is a good option – there are plenty of parking spaces at Magens Bay, and this would reduce the number of cars in our limited space.
