Because of the point-to-point nature of the new Stadium to the Sea course, participants are instructed to park near the finish line in Santa Monica on the morning of the race and board shuttle buses bound for the starting line at Dodger Stadium.

These complimentary pre-race runner shuttles are for registrants only and run from the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to the starting line at Dodger Stadium, beginning at 2:30 am, with the last shuttle leaving at 6 am. You will need to show your race numbers to ride.

There are over 10,000 secured parking spaces near the finish line and shuttle pick up location. All registrants are encouraged to reserve a parking space in advance. Also, for those who elect to get dropped off at Dodger Stadium on the day of the race, please note that there is no day parking at the Stadium.

There will be a shuttle service for those registrants who are staying at hotels in downtown Los Angeles.
