Important Information from St. Kate's:

Construction Info:  Our soccer, softball, and throws areas are all under active construction.  Teams/spectators should not be in any of the construction areas, including the area between softball & tennis courts, and our throws cage/sector. 

Teams/spectators should walk AROUND the tennis courts to access the start/finish area, as the area between softball/tennis will be closed off.  Teams should not be on the softball infield or soccer field.  We ask spectators to stay off the softball/soccer fields at all times. 

THE COURSE (5k) HAS NOT CHANGED!  There are several areas that will be hard packed dirt/gravel where the construction vehicles have been driving through.  We also have a new sidewalk that cuts across the course, which will be covered with some rollout runway. 

Start/Finish Area:  The Start/Finish area and team camp area are located just west of the Softball/Tennis facilities.  This area is one of the best places to watch the races, as runners will pass through several times for both the 4k/5k races.  While we are under construction in 2017, the best way to access the Start/Finish area is by walking around the tennis courts and following the pathway next to the sand volleyball court.  The area between the softball field & tennis courts is currently CLOSED for construction. 
 Parking:  Parking is available in the O’Shaughnessy parking lot.  The O’Shaughnessy lot is accessed from Gate 4 off Fairview Ave.  Teams can also enter via Gate 3 off Randolph Ave to drop off along the tennis courts if needed.  
 Restrooms:  Restrooms are located in the Butler Center.  The Butler Center is to the left across the small parking area by the sand volleyball court.  It is the building with the clock tower.  Restrooms are located on the first level to the left (locker rooms) or on the 2^nd floor off the main lobby.
