The Parke Estate Park & Ride will drop passengers at Moorlands House at Haytor, and the Holwell Down Service will travel to Saddle Tor Car Park at Haytor, both around half a mile from the finish.
Both Park & Ride sites open at 8am for parking and cycling or walking. The Park & Ride services will operate around every 20 minutes, between 9am and 5pm. Times may vary according to circumstances. The last service before the race arrives is approximately 1pm from Parke, and 1:30pm from Holwell Down. The first buses to the car parks after the race finishes is approximately 3.15pm.
