Getting around town from North to South on Ironman Cda Raceday can be no big deal if you are in Post Falls and want to stay there. But trying to go from Hayden to Coeur d'Alene can be a challenge when you live on a cul-de-sac and the race course is a section of road at the end of your street!

Trying to zig and zag from East to West as you make your way South from North can try your endurance and patience as you are waiting for the "coast to be clear" so the volunteers who are standing guard at the intersections can wave  you through. Of course the patience and endurance comes as you have to wait for the 15 cars AHEAD of you to be waved through! You finally make it to the front of the line and it hits you. You see an Ironman participant cycle through in front of you and you really understand endurance and patience. Waiting to "drive" through an intersection is nothing compared to the goal these athletes are working to achieve!

I was just hoping to get downtown and get a good parking spot so I could enjoy the festive atmosphere. It is good to work towards a goal.

Proud of our town for throwing such a first class event and showcasing us to the nation!  Below is some information to help get around on race day. Hope it makes it easier!

Thank you athletes for coming!

Thank you volunteers for making it all work.

Thank you Cda for hosting.
