Parking at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is free. The venue recommends parking in the grassy area along Lakeshore Drive between North Carolina Avenue and Honeysuckle Drive, or along permitted street parking on Lakeshore Drive. Please do not park at Elderhaus, as towing is enforced.
If you’re signed up for a class, we recommend arriving a little early to allow time for parking and check-in.

Yes. There is a flat entry fee of $30 to enter through The Gator Garden and access the event grounds.
This fee is waived if:
You are participating in the race (your race bib serves as admission).
You are registered for a Recess class (we'll have a guest list at check-in).
Classes hosted by Common Ground, Pulse Pilates, Axis Fitness, BeU, and other partners are free to register for. However, if you do not have a race bib or a Recess class reservation, you will need to pay the entry fee at the door to enter the event.
