I was just wondering for those who does the marathons, do you go to parks after you have finished the race or before the race?
I'm not talking about "day of the race" but book rooms to go to parks before or after race?
We arrive on Sunday and leave on the following Monday after the marathon. As soon as I get finished with a race (5K, 10K, Half, or Full) we head out for a full day at one of the parks. This schedule of arriving and leaving works best for our families work schedule.
We do the parks daily while we are there. Shorter visits the day before the full, but definitely some time in the parks every day.
Do you guys go to the parks the day of the race? I'll have a limited number of park days (like 1 or 2 at the most) on my trip next year.

Yes, we shower/eat back at the room after the race then head right out (except this year's marathon I was too sick/weak to leave the room which totally sucked not doing a park after the marathon). Of course after the marathon you get a lot less park time depending on how quick you finish/clean up, so if you want to maximize park time and want full park opening days maybe not doing race day would be better for you with such limited park days.Do you guys go to the parks the day of the race?
