Ironman 70.3 NC Oct 22 - race day logistics

I’ve got no sherpa for this race. Looks like they’ll have shuttles from downtown where host hotel and finish are. My hotel is about 6 miles from those locations. Any recommendations on parking close to there so I can catch the shuttle in the morning and then post race get back to my car?

You can either get dropped off downtown or use one of the parking decks in the area. I think that this deck may be the closest: http://www.wilmingtondowntown.com/go/water-street-parking-deck

Thanks. I’ll have to check around there on race week. If I had someone going with me I’d have them drop me off. I’ll probably just get up early to find parking.

Driving downtown and parking in the decks is probably best. I did that for the race in 2012 and it worked out great.

cool. sounds good.

The buses leaving early in the AM were located at the Hilton Hotel and the parking lot(s)/decks were almost across the street from the bus location. You use your credit card at the parking meter in this area. No trouble at all for those traveling alone.
