Candy Stripe Classic Directions

All, We've heard our flier has a coordinate mistake! To get to the Road Race please use the following coordinates: 39.326648, -86.471945 . Also be advised that the exit of 37 (Future I69) onto Old 37 Rd. is barricaded. Please be prepared to take an alternate route. The easiest way to exit 37 on Chambers Pike Rd. and then go northbound on Old SR 37 all the way to the Morgan Monroe Forest or exit on North Fox Hollow Rd. and do the same. For simplicity purposes, if you are already staying the night in Bloomington it is easiest to get to the Forest by taking Old SR 37 from the get go all the way from Bloomington. If you are coming from North of Bloomington, you can also exit 37 (Future I69) on Liberty Church Rd. and take Hackers Creek Rd. all the way to Morgan Monroe Forest.
