VENUE LOCATION AND DETAILS For those of you that have never been to this venue it is a wonderful park with nearly 40 miles of flowing single-track mountain bike trails that wind through numerous ecosystems in the Hammock Preserve, and there is a little bit of something for everyone. There are also wonderful hiking and equestrian trails at the park and we wanted to be sure everyone has the correct address to our race weekend location. When plugging in directions to your devices, please use 13201 Progress Blvd., Alachua, FL 32615 to ensure you arrive at the correct location.
There is a $4 per vehicle fee per day. Please use either the honor box (correct change required) OR you can pay online for a single-use day pass.
