Upcoming Happenings: Friday Night, Saturday Event Day, Follow up Days

Friday, April 26: Check-In & Opening Ceremonies - Riders, Runners, Crew and guests welcome

William B. Travis High School Cafeteria (Follow the signs once you have parked.)

1211 E Oltorf St, Austin, TX 78704 (map)

Parking in front of the high school is limited. There is ample parking located behind and to the Southeast side of the school. While there is a one lane bus road that you can enter/exit from on Oltorf, due to school bus parking, Friday afternoon traffic, and the busy Oltorf/IH 35 intersection, it would be best to take this alternate route to the parking lot: Take the IH 35 access road past Oltorf, go past Denny's and another building, then turn right into very next parking lot and drive through that lot to gain access to the high school's back parking lot. (See Google map above and look at satellite view of map.)

4:30-7:30 pm: Registration Check-In Open
5:00 pm: Rider Orientation for out-of-town Riders
