Papa John Packet Pickup - Starting line

I've not run the Papa John 10 miler before. If I'm reading the information correctly, Saturday morning packet pickup is available at the Papa John stadium but the starting line is at 3rd and Central. Is there a shuttle that will bring us back from the start to Papa John? It looks like 2-3 miles from the stadium to the start line.

Thanks,

Rich

Re: Papa John Packet Pickup - Starting line

Drove to Louisville and snooped around the stadium. Parking is in the "blue" lot at Floyd and Central, 4 blocks from the start. The lot is quite large so depending on where you park, it might be 5 or 6 blocks. If you park in the stadium "red" lot at the stadium you are locked in until they reopen the streets at 1130 AM.

The finish line is inside the stadium, which is across Central from the blue lot. It's about 2 - 3 blocks back to your car.

Weather on race day keeps going back and forth from rain to partly cloudy. Temps will be in the upper 30s to low 40s. Reminds me of the Rodes City run.

Packet pickup at the stadium is on the west side, Brown and Williamson Club, gate 6, near the railroad tracks, 3rd floor, 11 AM - 7 PM Friday and race day 6 - 7:30 AM
