Location and times to pick up your packet vary depending on the event. If you are unable to pick up your race packet, you may have a friend or family member do so for you.

SUNDAY SHUTTLES TO THE START LINE

Due to limited parking at the Start Line, we encourage participants and spectators to park their cars at a Park-n-Ride location throughout the Fox Cities. Shuttle buses provided by Lamers Bus Lines will run continuously from these Park-n-Ride locations on race morning.

We encourage all riders to be at the park-n-ride locations no later than 5:30 a.m. on Sunday morning.

SUNDAY SHUTTLES TO THE FINISH LINE

A shuttle will be available to take Start Line spectators to the Finish Line after participants have left the Start Line (approximately 7:15 a.m.). The shuttle leaves from the west parking lot at UW-Oshkosh Fox Cities Campus.

SUNDAY POST-RACE SHUTTLE

Post-race shuttles will be available for participants and spectators for a return ride to the Park-n-Ride locations, downtown Neenah or the Start Line. Busses and vans will be operating continuously after the race from 8:45 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Watch for the shuttle signs and the big yellow school buses!

Have your plans changed? You may only switch to a different event if the event that you want to switch to still has availability. In other words, if the half marathon is sold out, you may not switch from another event into the half marathon.
