Parking
There is limited parking within the community of Summerside and being a new community there is plenty of construction going on. We ask that all athletes and spectators park along the cross streets. There is no parking available at transition (race start/finish). You can drive in to drop off your bike and equipment between 6:00am and 7:30am ONLY. This will ease the congestion around the transition area, and make everyone's event much more enjoyable. We respectfully ask that you obey this rule, and hope it doesn't cause any inconvenience.
DO NOT PARK ALONG 91st (the road to the beach)
