SPECTATORS
Spectators are an important part of any race- they give you that boost of energy when you need it most, encourage you when you're feeling low, and can pep you up to fly into the finish line!
Calico Racing wants you and your spectators to have a fun and safe experience, while minimizing the congestion for casual park users.
I ask that you PLEASE have your spectators adhere to these offered services, as this is CRUCIAL in determining the renewal of my permit for next year.
THERE IS NO RACE SPECTATOR PARKING AT RED ROCK CANYON!
**PLEASE NOTE: IT IS HIGHLY PREFERRED THAT SPECTATORS NOT COME TO THE START LINE TO REDUCE OUR NEED TO AGAIN TRANSPORT THEM TO THE FINISH LINE 2 MILES AWAY. TAKING THE 8:30PM SPECTATOR BUS TO THE FINISH LINE IS PREFERRED.
Bus transportation is available for spectators, as provided for the runners. Runners and spectators all catch the bus at the same location (Main FREE location is at Red Rock Resort and Spa located at 11011 West Charleston Blvd; surface parking near Charleston. OR available from THE STRIP- SEE BELOW). Buses will run on a rotation to get everyone to their start lines.
Bus transportation FROM THE STRIP is available for runners and spectators for $30 rt/pp. Pick up location is at Bally's Hotel and Casino on the Flamingo side. This is a central Strip location within walking distance from many Strip hotels or a couple of dollars taxi ride. Race evening bus DEPARTS at 6:15pm. Post race STRIP return to the same location is at APPROX 10:45pm & 12am (midnight). Slight changes may be made to these times.
When loading the buses on race evening, 1/2 marathoners (8pm start), then Overlook Ascent Runners(8:30pm start), then spectators will have priority when boarding the buses. Please have your spectators be respectful of your fellow runners when boarding the buses and use of port-a-potties. You may have your spectator drop you off at your start line, then have them proceed to the busing area. This will alleviate demand on the buses and ensure smooth sailing on race day.
8:30pm: Spectator bus TO the race finish line from the main FREE lot. I ask that spectators allow ALL runners be transported first for an on time race. Only if a bus is about to roll with an empty seat- and no runner is waiting, can a spectator go first.
PLEASE NOTE: This service is FREE to spectators. Calico Racing is paying for their entry into the fee area park. YES- this means it is very important that you please make use of this service.
The only way I will knowingly give the go ahead for a spectator to drive their own vehicle is if they are willing to volunteer for a portion of the race. Contact me at info@calicoracing.com for details.
Thank you for your cooperation!
