There is (free) car parking for competitors. Getting into it is tricky, getting out might be worse.
If you can't be fussed with all the details below, just use the Pay and Display, as above.
Getting in: 16:00 to 17:45 only
Getting In - from the north. Drive past the Pay and Display (as above) and turn left at the end of Edward Street (no choice about that). As soon as you come over the hump of the canal bridge turn right into St Peter's Road. Straight ahead you'll see a marshal. Show the pass (print this PDF for pass) and in you go.
Once you're through those barriers you're locked in till the event is over.
EXCEPTION: There is an Early Leaver Car Park - intended for those who are here for the Youth Race and needing to get away straight after.
How to use the Early Leaver Car Park: As you turn left at the end of Edwards St (see above) the Early Leaver Car Park is right in front of you and you can assess if there are spaces. If there are, go through the barriers (as above) and the marshal will direct you. If you don't see spaces you'll have to drive "round the block" (see below) to get back to the Pay and Display. The exit from the Early Leaver Car Park will open at 19:15 and close at 20:00.
There is no way through from the other Competitors' Car Parks to the Early Leaver Car Park.
