Parking
Arrive early to avoid parking problems. There is a large parking lot between the Seawalk Pavilion and Carrabba's Italian Grill. Once this lot is full, you will have to look for parking spots farther from the starting area. The later you arrive, the farther away you will have to park.
Towing in the Wachovia Bank Parking lot is being enforced even though the bank is closed.
JTA has the Beaches Trolley that runs up and down 3rd Street between the South Beach Parkway Shopping Center and the Atlantic Village Shopping Center. Ride cost: $1 each way. On Saturday during the summer, it runs until 2 a.m. and hits numerous stops about 20 minutes apart. So you'll have lots of party time after the SBR Party is over!!
As always, the streets are a free for all; park responsibly and don't get towed!!
Race Photos
Speedy Banana will be taking photos for this race.
