From the U. S. 220 bypass take any exit that comes to Ellerbe and  turn at the stoplight west onto Page St.  
Follow Page St. about 2.2 miles and it bears right becoming Grassy Island Rd.  Continue another 3 1/2 miles on
Grassy Island Rd.  and you will come to race headquarters-Bethel Baptist Church. If you are coming from the
west on US 74 do not come to Rockingham.  Instead, turn left onto NC Highway 109 in Wadesboro.  Proceed
several miles until you
cross the Pee Dee River and take the next paved right onto Grassy Island Road.  
Follow Grassy Island Rd. about 13 miles to race headquarters-Bethel Baptist Church.  Make sure and cross the
river before turning.  There is a Grassy Island Rd. before the river too and it will not lead you to the race
