DIRECTIONS to Mahomet Trails
(may sound difficult but Mahomet is no Chicago)
| Via I-74 West from Champaign |
| 1. Take I-74 West, and get off at the exit for Rt. 47, about
10 miles west of Champaign. Head south (left) at your first opportunity. Go
under the highway until you hit the first stoplight, which is Franklin St.
Turn right on Franklin. 2. Follow Franklin uphill to a stop sign.
Turn right and go to next stop sign. Turn left onto State Street. Go
straight at the next four-way stop. At the intersection (stop sign) just
past Mahomet-Seymour high school turn right (north) onto Crowley Road.
For the trail race, registration and check-in will be on the west side of
the high school -- you will not be able to drive across the interstate
overpass. At other times, go over the interstate overpass, and watch for
the bicycle sign on the right, and turn right (east) just beyond the sign to
the parking lot, where the trail begins. |
