Message:		If you have family and/or friends who want to see you, I would make the following recommendations: 1) Dont come to the start line, not worth the hassle and as we all know, you dont see that much anyway. 2) Park in Ashland which is the 6-8 mile par of the course, and I would be there by 7:30 at the latest. Also, TELL THEM TO BE CAREFUL WHERE THEY PARK. Make sure they CROSS OVER the railroad track going thru the middle of town, and then park (this would be the west side of the tracks.) If they dont, they wont be able to cross the tracks to head on out to the finish line because all the runners will be coming thru. They can see you anywhere along the rail road tracks, and then get to their cars and drive to the finish line to see you in plenty of time. Rte 54 takes them to the Poor House Farm complex which is the Start/Finish Line. 3) When they get to Poor House Farm, they may have to park a little ways from the Finish Line area. Just make sure they know that incase they have someone who make have a hard time walking. You may be able to drop them off, and then go find a parking place. These are really the only two places to realistically see the runners come thru. The rest is on rural roads and no real place to park and watch. Hope this helps!!
