Our Recommendation
We recommend using our shuttle services before your challenge. Park your car at the finish venue, then take our shuttle to your start line.
This means your car will be ready and waiting for you at the finish, so you can head home as soon as you complete your challenge.
Please be aware that return shuttles from the finish back to the start can involve a wait at certain times, particularly overnight and in the early morning.
Alternatively, arrange for a supporter to drop you off at the start and collect you from the finish.
Parking
Parking is available at our main event venues.
If you’re not taking on the Full 100km Challenge, please check our optional shuttle services to make sure they work with your chosen start and finish arrangements.
