Handicap Accessibility: If you have anyone that is going to need assistance getting from the parking area down to the start/finish area, please contact us in advance, so we can make arrangements to assist in aiding anyone that would require assistance. We will have a couple of golf carts available to aid anyone who may need assistance.
