HI Gary,
Thanks for your questions. Yes, you can leave your valuables on the bus or van while we are running. If we rent a bus the bus driver will be on the bus, and if we rent a van or vans then we will leave the vans locked while we run. We will leave after the Giants game is over which is estimated to be at 4pm.Let me know if you have any other questions.

Nancy LancasterEvent HostRunning Adventure Travel Club "The RAT Pack" Organizer, OrganizerThis was a very run race, and the Giants baseball game was unbelieveably fun! The van was parked only a few yards away from the race start and finish. This is definetely the best way to travel to an out-of-town race.

gary campbell+1 guestNice trip. Vanpool meant not having to worry about driving the streets of San Francisco. The 5K course was enjoyable, especially crossing home plant at ATT park. The baseball game itself was exciting. It was my first visit to the Giants' home park. Good weather, good friends, good ballpark experience, plus it was Randy Johnson bobblehead day to boot! A fine time!!

Becki SpivaIt was a fun, fun day! We had a fast, carefree ride to and from the race and parked right near the event. These trips are fun for walkers, runners and just spectators. I would recommend it to anyone. Next year we need to have enough to tailgate in the parking lot.

Janice Bishop+1 guestWhat a fun trip! We couldn't have asked for a better parking place! The run was so much fun and the Giants game a blast. Next year we must tail-gate!!!

JeanetteThe race was so much FUN. We got to the race early and got a great parking space. Getting our race goodie bag and visiting the vendors pre-race was easy. Got to run with the ocean and Bay Bridge as views. Then we ran onto the playing field at AT&T Park and touched home plate. Another visit with the vendors and then watched an exciting game from great seats. The weather was as prefect as the company. Doesn't get much better than that.
