Our registration tables will be set up outdoors right next to the finish line at the corner of 649 and 613, across from the Browntown Baptist Church parking lot. (Bathroom access, as always, will be at the Browntown Community Center a couple hundred yards to the north.)

Our parking options are somewhat limited by the small size of Browntown, but we will have a few specific areas designated for parking on race day (shown on the map of Browntown at lower right). As we've done over the past few years, we'll place yellow "PARKING" signs in front of these areas, and we'll have a couple intrepid volunteers directing you as to where to park. Your cooperation with our parking volunteers will be greatly appreciated! (We'll also have a few "NO PARKING" signs placed in certain spots, so that nobody parks where they're not supposed to-- particularly at the Browntown Community Center or on the small patch of land across the road from the Baptist Church.)

Take I-81 south to exit 300 (left exit) and get on I-66 eastbound. In 6.5 miles, take exit 6 (Front Royal, Routes 340/522), bear right off the exit ramp, and follow Route 340 south into Front Royal.

(Disclaimer: The mileages and drive times listed above are rough estimates. Your results may-- and probably will-- vary! We've tried to err on the conservative side with the drive times. If you spot any glaringly bad estimates, let us know via e-mail.)

There's now a stoplight at the intersection of Route 340 and Route 649 (Browntown Road), due to the 2007 addition of Skyline Vista Drive (leading to Skyline High School) on the other side of the intersection.

If you're coming to the race through Front Royal, please be aware that many of the speed limits in and near the town were lowered in mid-2007, sometimes to what may seem like unrealistically low speeds. Not surprisingly, the police occasionally use these areas as speed traps. So you'll want to be extra mindful, particularly on Route 55 between Linden and Front Royal, and on Routes 522/340 between the Shenandoah River bridges and Skyline Drive.
