Important Travel/Parking
Information
During the 2011 Cross Country
Championships there was major traffic congestion, so the
OHSAA has worked with local officials to combat this
problem. Please follow the instructions below in order to
expedite the parking process:
- If you are coming from the
east, take Exit 126 off I-70, turn right onto Lancaster Road
(State Route 37), then in one mile turn left onto National
Road (State Route 40).
- If you are coming from the
west, take Exit 122 Outville Road (State Route 158), then in
one mile turn right onto National Road (State Route 40). Note that school
transportation vehicles coming from the west should proceed
to exit 126 so that they park in Lot A for participants.
-
Some GPS systems instructed people coming from the
west to proceed past National Trail and get off at Exit 126,
Lancaster Road. This caused a huge backup. Please Exit at
122 if you are coming from the West except for school
transportation vehicles (see previous note).
- Recreational
Vehicles
will be directed to Gate B from Route 40 to park inside the
National Trail facility; allowing for tailgating. $9.00
admission will be collected at Gate B.
-
Parking Note: The parking lots are grass and
can become muddy during inclement weather. Plan and dress accordingly!
