Race Day Parking and Shuttles

We have arranged complimentary parking in Allentown, parking is free in Bethlehem on Sundays, but you may need to pay for parking in Easton garages. If you need to pay for street parking, all three cities use the ParkMobile app.

We will provide free shuttle buses from the race finish area in Easton to start lines in downtown Allentown and downtown Bethlehem. Signs and volunteers can direct you to the shuttle bus loading site. Shuttle buses will run about every 15 minutes. Relay Teams: there will not be shuttles back to the exchange points! You are responsible for your own transportation. Information about parking for relay teams is in the racers’ guide

For full parking and shuttle information, please download our 2024 Racers’ Guide (PDF).

Marathon Parking – Allentown

We have arranged for complimentary parking for you in the Spiral Deck on 8th and Linden streets in Allentown. It is very close to the starting area, which is one block south (toward the larger buildings) on Hamilton Street. Use the Linden Street entrance.

The gates will be up and an Allentown Parking Authority representative will guide you in. You can park anywhere in the garage. The race will pick up your cost.

If you choose to park in any of the other garages in the city, you will need to take a ticket and pay a fee upon exit. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you park in the Spiral Deck.

As an option to the garage, street parking is also free in Allentown on Sundays.

Half Marathon Parking – Bethlehem

Please allow extra time for parking in Bethlehem. The Walnut Street garage, which many racers used last year, was demolished. We have conferred with the Bethlehem Parking Authority and are confident that existing parking facilities can handle our field if people arrive early.

Strongly consider carpooling to limit the traffic into parking areas and to reduce the impact on the environment.

Parking is free everywhere in the City of Bethlehem on Sunday. Even though parking is free, you will still need to take a ticket to activate the gate if you use the North Street Garage. Keep the ticket in a safe place in your car; you will need it to exit. Do not take the ticket with you when you race. You risk losing it and delaying your exit.

Shuttles in Easton to Allentown or Bethlehem

We are pleased to provide you with complimentary shuttle transportation from the finish area in Easton to your starting areas in Allentown or Bethlehem. Note for relay teams: We do not send shuttle buses to the relay exchanges.

Shuttle buses will operate from about 9:15 a.m. until 3 p.m. (We will not leave any racer behind!) Shuttle buses will stop first in Bethlehem, then continue to Allentown if there are riders who need to return to Allentown.

You can pick up shuttle buses at Riverside Park in Easton, which is just north of Scott Park and the finish area. You can reach Riverside Park on the trail alongside the river and under the green truss bridge.

Shuttle buses are scheduled to depart every 10-15 minutes. Depending on traffic conditions, we intend to have a shuttle bus waiting at all times in case the day is particularly wet or cold.
