Do not park on main roads or roads marked "no parking" since many are part of the course. Non-locals staying in the marathon's partner hotels are encouraged to take the hotel shuttles since they will drop you off within a short walk of the start line, avoiding the hassle of parking and a long walk to the start line. Hotel shuttles return from Lambeau at the top of each hour from 9 am until 2 pm.
