Parking
Since our race occurs on the same day as the CSU football game, there are a few important notes regarding parking outlined below:
- Beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday October 15, Colorado State will begin enforcing game day parking, meaning all vehicles parked on campus lots without a game day pass at this time will be towed and/or ticketed.
- We recommend coming to campus for the 5K via public transportation, such as the MAX, rideshare programs, or biking/walking.
- Neighborhoods to the north of Laurel St. and east of College Ave. also allow for 2 hour street parking, once per day. The city will be enforcing the 2 hour zones during this time.
- At this time there is NO designated parking for 5k participants. We will update this information we are able to secure designated race parking. We are working with parking services determine if we can designated 5K parking for the duration of the race.
