Runners should park in Ripken’s largest lot using the first entrance on Long Drive (entrance is on the right). Please park on the side of the lot closest to the stadium. Parking attendants will be there to assist. We encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the race start to minimize traffic once the 5K begins.
Volunteers and vendors should park in the smaller lot directly in front of the stadium entrance. You will not be able to enter or leave this parking lot from 15 minutes prior to the race start (8:00am) until 15 minutes after the last person finishes the course (estimated 9:00am). If you need to leave during this time, please park in the larger parking lot.
