Race Day Parking & Busing

Because REVEL Big Cottonwood is a point-to-point route, we will bus you from the finish line to the start line. The cost of busing is free. You do not need to reserve a spot on the bus. Your bib is your ticket to board a bus.

Due to road closures and participant safety all runners must take the buses the morning of the race. You may not park or be dropped off at the start lines.

All participants will park in the lots and parking garages directly to the south of the finish line. Parking is limited, so please carpool if possible. The best way to arrive is by using I-215 and taking the Union Park Avenue exit south. The best address for parking is 7000S Union Park Avenue, Cottonwood Heights, UT 84047. 

Full and half marathon participants will board buses in two separate locations. Full marathon buses will load from the corner of 1300 East and Park Centre Drive near Denny's and will depart between 4:00 and 5:00 AM. 

Half marathon buses will load from the NW corner of 1300 East and Fort Union Boulevard across from Maverik. They will depart between 4:30 and 5:30 AM. Please arrive on time and make sure to board the correct bus.
