I ran it last year... the logistics for parking are not the best, but it's a nice race and I would do it again. It was super hot/humid last year, so that part was not too enjoyable. I didn't sign up this year because I'm just still not that into running, I guess (I'm going to be scratching my 10K in April), even though my group of run buddies is doing it this year (last year it was just me and one other friend).Has anyone run Beach to Beacon? I entered the lottery thinking I would not get picked and got the email this morning saying I did. I feel like on one hand fate is telling me to run, but on the other hand I have heard that the logistics for the race can be a nightmare in terms of parking. I have till Sunday to claim my lottery entry.
There are shuttle buses from the parking areas... you cannot realistically park near the start, so you need to take that into account, but we're rD runners, right, we are used to shuttle buses. We parked at the Hannaford corporate lot. It's very large, and even though the line for the buses was enormous, it moved very quickly and we didn't have any issues getting on the bus in time and getting dropped off at the start. It's a bit of a walk from the drop off area to the start, but not too bad.
