Directions to Packet Pick-Up
Take Exit 156B on Interstate 25, that is the North Gate Exit. Continue to the Gate, and be ready to present Drivers License. Your car will probably be inspected, but that is customary. Continue 1 mile on Academy Drive. Turn left at Parade Loop, and continue up the hill (1/2 mile) to Field House Drive. Turn right on Field House Drive, and continue roughly 400 meters. There will be several parking spaces to choose from.
Once you have parked, walk directly West (towards the mountains). You should soon arrive at a fence separating a road and the tennis courts. Turn right and continue roughly 200 meters. This will be well marked on packet pick-up day.
