Spectator & Travel
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
MDT (Montana Department of Transportation) is doing work on I-90 and the East Bound Exit 5 at Taft is CLOSED. There is a detour in place that has East Bound drivers going past Exit 5 - down to Exit 10 Saltise, then go under the interstate and get back on I-90 going West Bound to get off at Exit 5 Taft, MT from the West Bound side.
Runners driving East on I-90 (From Spokane, CDA, etc) to get to the race please plan for it to take you an extra 15 minutes to get there due to the construction and detour.
Runners traveling West on I-90 (from Missoula, Helena, Saltese, MT) should not have any detour issues and can get off I-90 at Taft - Exit 5.
------------------------------------------------------------
Parking:
There is very limited parking at East Portal near the Start. We ask that runners park at the Taft Parking lot off exit 5 on I-90 and take the shuttle to the start. Runner check-in will also be located at Taft parking lot. There will be gear check available near the start line.

Where To Stay:
Although, there are no places to stay in Taft near the run start, there are plenty of places to stay within a short drive. We recommend looking for a hotel or bed and breakfast in Wallace, ID. There are also numerous campsites in the area.
