Parking Information for the St. Charles North Invitational

Saturday, October 5th, 2013

 

Coaches and athletic directors:  Please forward this information to your spectators.

 

For the upcoming St. Charles North Invitational there will be a variety of parking options.  Please read the following options carefully.  Leroy Oaks is in the midst of being reconfigured so we are still learning from a previous invitational (the Leavey Invite) and still working with the Forest Preserve District, the police, and the fire department to ensure a smooth and efficient process. 

 

Busses

Busses will be allowed to drop off teams near the barn and depart or park in the Nature Center of Leroy Oakes.  If there is a potential for inclement weather, please plan to have your bus stay close and have a way to communicate with your driver.

The church is located at the corner of Randall and Crane Roads and allows spectators to park in their lots.  There is a path along Randall that enters Leroy Oakes Forest Preserve.  It is roughly a ¾ mile walk into the park where you are near the 2-mile mark of the race.  It is roughly a 1.25 mile walk from the parking lot to the starting line.  There is a hill on the path and up to the starting line.
