1400 runners! (but this post is about parking, directions, schedule)

The TC Roberson website reports:

Parking:

Henderson County Parks and Recreation officials are requesting we use the south entrance to the park due to the construction (see directions below).  Upon entering the park, all buses should take an immediate right turn and park in the area around the softball fields.  The lot we have used for buses in the past is now designated for cars.  Spectators should turn to the left upon entering the park from the south entrance, ample parking spaces are available.

Directions:

 From Interstate 26 – take exit 53 (Upward Road). Go towards Hendersonville/Flat Rock 1.4 miles. Take right at 176 / Spartanburg Highway (major intersection at Super Ingles). Go 1.3 miles. Take right on Glover Street (there are a couple of small, brown Jackson Park signs before this turn). Go 0.7 miles into South entrance of Jackson Park (note – Glover Street is a small, residential road).
Update 8/26:  Use the South Entrance to Jackson Park from Spartanburg Highway, since the entrance from Four Seasons Boulevard will be closed.

If anyone attending with mobile wireless could report a few Watauga results Saturday in Comments (below), that would be great.
