        You park anywhere in Flemington except on Main St. You can park in the old Turntable Junction area. There are some lots on Main St, just know that you won’t be able to leave until the race is completed.

      Thanks, jdresser. That’s what I’m hearing as well. You pick up your race numbers on Park Avenue behind the courthouse, so many people will try to park close to there, I’m told.

      I posted the course map here:

      My user name was wrong..lol. Thanks for the replies. I’m nervously looking forward to this run. I know it’s only a little over three miles but I’ve been preparing since September. I know this won’t be my last race. I’m going to get there early. Picked up my number and tag last Saturday.

      Congratulations on your first 5K! How was it?!

      What’s the next race on your schedule? Let me know if you need suggestion on races or where to find them. : )

      I finished it but did a lot of walking. My pace was terrible. I should have probably ran the course before hand. I was proud to have done it though. I was disappointed in myself because I have had much better runs on my own. But still glad I did it and will do it again next year. It was a great atmosphere and a lot of fun.

      Your pace was better than mine! My pace that morning was sleep late, make pies, eat cookies. So, I say, “Well done!” : )

      I plan to be there next year, though.

      If you’re looking for a nice low-key event, try the Resolution Run in Hillsborough on New Year’s Day. Not so many people that you get slowed down in the crowds. It’s a great atmosphere and a great way to start the new year! (Nice hoodie sweatshirts, too.)
