To accommodate the event, road closures and parking restrictions will be in place in the Knox Mountain Park area throughout the weekend. The lower 1.5 kilometres of Knox Mountain Drive, from the base to the first lookout, will be closed to vehicle traffic beginning at 7 a.m. on Saturday and will remain closed through the weekend.
During this time, pedestrians are permitted to enter the area to watch the event from designated spectator areas. Hikers are also permitted to access area trails including the Apex Trail, when the downhill course is not in use by participants or shuttle vehicles. Event volunteers will be stationed on-site to ensure safe passage of pedestrians and hikers throughout the event area.
Due to ongoing utility improvement projects in the North End , access to parking may be temporarily limited while construction is in the area. Visitors are advised to follow onsite signage related to temporary parking closures and reduce traffic and parking congestion by choosing various modes of active transportation, such as biking, walking, and carpooling.
