Bleckley County High School, 1 Royal Drive, Cochran, GA 31014
The entrance for spectators and athletes is Bleckley County High School, 1 Royal Drive, off Chester Rd. (Highway 126).
There will be signs directing spectators where to go before they get to venue.
Google Map to the exact entrance for parking, which is the red marker on the Google map at the bottom of this page. This is the Alpha Crush entrance to parking.
Ideally, don't make the left turn off Hwy 23 to Dykes Rd / Hwy 26. That will take you to the bus parking north of the course. You *can* park there, it's just a longer walk to the team tent.
Instead, stay on Hwy 23 and make a left on Chester Rd / Hwy 126. Then, you make a left turn to the south entrance to the high school.
The Alpha Crush team tent will be in the field adjacent to the starting line field.
See Course Information / Course Map below.
There is a team tent area near the elementary school, but that is very crowded and filled up by the time we get there in the afternoon.
There will also be designated parking spaces for handicapped individuals so please let your parents/grandparents know so they can be aware of this.
$10.00/vehicle parking fee. This $10.00 includes admission to the meet for everyone in that vehicle. With the club races being the last three events of the day (after 9 other races) parking usually isn't an issue.
