RACE DAY PARKING & TRANSPORTATION
The Highlander Half Marathon & 5K are point-to-point races, meaning that they start and end at separate locations.

Main athlete/spectator parking will be in Lot Z next to the Dedmon Center. Limited parking will also be available at Bisset Park. Beginning at 6:30 a.m. on race day, buses will shuttle athletes and spectators between the Bisset Park finish line and Lot Z.
RUNNER DROP-OFF
If you are dropping off a runner, you can drop them off at Lot Z. It is directly across from the start line. Please follow all directional signs when dropping off. Lot Z is also the location buses will be dropping off and picking up athletes and spectators for Bisset Park.
ROLLIN' ON THE RIVER FESTIVAL
The Highlander Half & 5K races both finish in Bisset Park at the Rollin' on the River Festival. The festival will include food trucks, live entertainment, and family activities. Each runner will receive one (1) complimentary beer ticket for the beer truck at the Rollin' on the River Festival.
