Best Spots to Watch
Veteran attendees recommend wearing walking shoes and taking a stroll along the course to take in the sights and sounds, rather than staying in one place.
- The farther down the course, the more crowded it gets.
- The Weld Exhibition is a popular destination for food and drinks.
- Riverbend Park offers a good viewing area for the races between the Weeks Footbridge and the Anderson Bridge.
It's worth battling crowds to check out the many hospitality areas.
