Yes, if your vehicle is inside the venue with a parking pass and you also have a camping pass.

Cars may also be left overnight Saturday at the Poplar Grove overflow lot.

Absolutely! Camping is part of the Southern Tour experience.  Camping passes can be purchased during your registration. A camping pass does not include parking. If you want your car inside the venue, you also need a parking pass.  If you forgot to add camping, you can go back into your Run Sign Up account and go to MANAGE REGISTRATION and select ADD ONS.

You must only camp in designated camping areas.  If you want to sleep in your car in the main parking lot, that is fine, but you cannot set up a camping "site" in the parking lot

Overflow parking is located outside the venue at Poplar Grove Plantation.  You can park there and we will have shuttles that can take you in.  You can also drop off folks inside the venue and then the driver can go park at Poplar Grove and take the shuttle in.

Parking is one of the biggest logistical challenges at Southern Tour Ultra. How smoothly this goes depends on everyone doing their part. Carpool when possible. Fewer cars = a better experience for all.

We create a parking lot from scratch—there are no marked spaces.
👉 Park tight, straight, and safely next to your neighbor.
❌ Do not block anyone. Poor parking affects dozens of athletes and staff.

ONLY vehicles with a QR code parking pass may enter the venue. No exceptions.

Overflow parking: Poplar Grove (1.5 miles away)
🚌 Shuttles run all day Saturday, 5:30am–7:00pm
Please use this lot—the fewer cars on site, the smoother the weekend.

❌ Do NOT drive into the camping area to drop gear.
Park first, then carry your items into camping.

No. Camping passes and parking passes are two separate purchases. Space for cars inside the venue is limited, so only a parking pass gets a vehicle through the gate.

• Camp with your car inside: buy a camping pass and a parking pass.
• Camp without a car inside: buy a camping pass only and have someone drop you off (no shuttle on Friday). On Saturday you can also park at Poplar Grove Plantation and ride the free shuttle, 5:30 am – 7:00 pm.
• Park for the day without camping: parking pass only.

Every 100 mile, 50 mile and 50K entry includes 1 parking pass, and every relay team gets 2. Additional parking passes will be available for purchase as we get closer to the event.
