Parking & Shuttle Buses
VIP Parking at De La Salle Park is SOLD OUT.
Parking at De La Salle Park is available ONLY for those who have pre-purchased a VIP Parking Pass through their race roster registration. These passes are limited and will be sent out by email in advance. If you do have a VIP parking pass, be prepared to show your pass and ID when entering De La Salle Park from the Metro Road entrance.
Overflow parking is free, convenient with shuttle service throughout the day. Shuttles will run from 5:00am to 2:00pm between the Briars Red Barn Theater Lot (991 Lake Drive East) and De La Salle Park (race start/finish line) and between Sutton District High School and De La Salle Park.
If you ordered a VIP Parking Pass, you should have received it in the mail by now. If you have not, please reach out to us at georginamarathon@gmail.com ASAP.
If you did NOT purchase a VIP Parking Pass, do NOT show up to park at De La Salle Park (Race start/finish line). Instead, you can park at one of our three overflow lots and shuttle buses will run throughout the day between these lots and the race start/finish. Overflow lots are located here:
1. Sutton District High School at 20798 Dalton Road, Sutton, ON L0E 1R0
There is a generous amount of parking behind the school (rear lot, off Philip Street) where the shuttle bus will stop to pick up passengers.
2. Sutton Public School at 5147 Baseline Road, Sutton West, ON. From there, walk next door to Sutton District High School to get the shuttle bus.

3. The Briars Red Barn Theatre Lot at 991 Lake Drive East, Jacksons Point, ON L0E 1L0
Look for a sign for The Red Barn Theatre and our race flag at the entrance. This is the overflow lot entrance. Please do NOT park in the Briars Resort parking lot unless you are a registered guest. Plan to arrive early and follow the directions of our parking marshals to park, then look for a sign or flag at the far east end of the lot for the gateway to the Briars property for the shuttle bus pick up.
Note - if you have a family member or friend who wishes to volunteer with us, they will be able to park right beside De La Salle Park in volunteer parking. To volunteer, click the "volunteer" link on the left side of this event race roster page.

Spectators will also find free lots along the course at Willow Beach and North Gwillimbury Park. There will NOT be a shuttle from these locations. There is a small lot at Kennedy Road and Lake Drive with a variety store (cash only!), BBQ and ice cream.
