We think there is sufficient parking at the Citrus Park Sports Association. This is close to the start/finish line. There is also mall parking which is a short warm up run/walk to the start line and a nice cool-down run after the race. Portable Bathrooms are located at the north end of the Citrus Park Parking lot. We hope the park's bathrooms will be open as well.
