Parking at Nolte during Packet Pickup
Because Nolte is a Washington State Park, a Discover Pass is required to park in their parking lot. If you plan to come to the park for Packet Pickup on Friday evening, you will need to display an annual Discover Pass or purchase a one-day pass at the park. More about Discover Passes Here.
Parking on Race Day
*UPDATE* for 2026: Parking at Nolte State Park:
Athlete-only reserved parking is no longer available.
All vehicles parked at Nolte State Park are required to display a valid Discover Pass, per park regulations. This applies to anyone parking in the main lot.
Discover Passes can be purchased online in advance or at authorized retail locations. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time for parking on race day.
If you previously purchased a reserved parking add-on during registration, please email us and we will issue a full refund.
Race Day Drop Offs: Race Day Drop Off- drop offs can be made at 300 SE 370th St, Cumberland, WA, which is one block south of the park. Head to the bend in the road and drop off just past the bend. There is a short trail that leads into the park. Please do not block the street for the shuttle bus.
Dedicated Parking Area: Parking will be available at the Cumberland Fire Station - about 1.2 miles away - and a shuttle bus will be running from 7:15am-1:30pm, taking athletes, spectators, and volunteers to and from the park. To improve the flow of athletes to and from the park, we highly suggest that athletes bring their gear in a backpack and ride their bike the 1.2 miles between the race venue and parking lot. While you can put your bike on the shuttle if necessary, the shuttle is best for spectators or athletes without a bike. The first shuttle will begin loading at about 7:15 AM at the Fire Station.
You may park ONLY on the grass field as directed by the parking attendants. The area taped off is the station's septic field. Don't park there!
Any vehicle parking on the shoulder of the roads surrounding the fire stations: SE 355th St, SE 354th St, or 312th Way SE will be towed!
