Very Important - Read Carefully!
(Plan under development)
Very Important - Read Carefully!
(Plan under development)
- With the redevelopment of PV, (formerly Paradise Valley Mall) well under way, the parking situation is substantially different from previous years. We greatly appreciate the project Developer and JC Penneys allowing us access to the property and accordingly, we must all follow specific guidelines to enter, park and exit the property.
- There will be two parking areas available this year. A section of the JC Penney's lot will be available for the 10K/Double Stack participants and the existing Parking Structure located on the north side of the development will be available for the 5K entrants. Please be patient entering and leaving the facility. The Parking Structure is 200 yards from the Staging Area.
- In order to access the Parking Structure, you must use Paradise Village Parkway, entering and heading north from Cactus Road. Follow the "Event Parking" signs and instructions of the traffic guards. For specific directions to the Parking Structure, see the map below. (Update Coming)
