Directions: Crooked Creek Recreational Park, Chapin SC
Take exit 91 (Chapin Exit) from I-26 towards Chapin. Take third left past Chapin High School, cross railroad tracks and go straight through the traffic light. Crooked Creek park is 2 miles from the traffic light. Follow signs to the race area in the park.
Bus Drop Off - In the past buses pulled into the Crooked Creek Park Entrance and dropped off there which made a further walk to the racing field. We are now asking that you pull into Chapin Baptist Church located next door to the right if you are facing Crooked Creek and pull all the way around back to offload your athletes. This will be a short walk through the woods and they will be at the racing field. Buses will then move to Melvin Park (Located on the Map) and park near the baseball fields there. A shuttle will pick you up and bring you back to Chapin Baptist. It will run the duration of the day.
Spectator Parking will be at Chapin Baptist and Crooked Creek Park. When those fill the next spot will be at Chapin Elementary but this will require some walking. We recommend carpooling and have full cars. There should be absolutely no parking at Chapin Intermediate School as part of the race course goes through there.
