Lodging for Hell Hath No Hurry

You’re coming in from out of town. Good.
Plan your sleep like you plan your nutrition.

The race starts and finishes at Cayuga Shelter in Settlers Cabin Park. Parking is tight. Mornings start early. The less driving you do on race morning, the better your day usually goes.

Here are your best options.

~20–25 minutes from the race site

If you’re bringing an RV or want a tent site with showers, this is your best choice.

• RV sites available

Final Advice

June can be hot.
Five loops (or eight) go better when you start rested.

Book early. Drink water the day before.
Show up ready to work.
