Parking, Pickup, Spectators
Quick-reference. Full athlete guide lives on the host race site.
Phelps Hospital parking deck, 701 N. Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 — the Rockwood Hall start/finish is immediately north of the hospital. Off Route 9.
Race-morning pickup from 6:00 AM under the tent at the mansion foundation site at Rockwood Hall. No Friday-evening packet pickup; everything happens Saturday on-site.
No shuttle — start, finish, and parking are co-located at Rockwood Hall / Phelps Hospital.
Best viewing: the start/finish arch at the Rockwood Hall mansion foundation; the Bedford Rd underpass aid stations (Aid #3 / Aid #6) where the marathon course doubles back; and the Hudson River overlook from the Rockwood Hall lawn. The course is entirely on carriage roads inside the preserve — spectators do not need cars between viewing points, but the underpass aid stations are also accessible by foot from Bedford Rd.
