Directions and Parking

The MadCity Ultras Race Headquarters is the Vilas Park Shelter.

The shelter is located at 1602 Vilas Park Drive, Madison, WI 53715. The City of Madison has changed the traffic pattern on this street, so you must now approach from the S. Mills Street. The section from Edgewood College to the Shelter entrance is now closed to vehicle traffic, and the section from the Shelter entrance to the Zoo parking lot is now two-way traffic.

Use this link for directions to the shelter.

​

Some parking near the Vilas Park Shelter may be limited to 2 hours so be sure to check the signage.  We may have event passes from the City so be sure to ask when picking up your packet. Parking areas are highlighted in the map below.
