Driving Yourself and Parking
If you do not plan to use UTSA shuttles, you can meet up with the UTSA delegation at the march starting location. Upon arrival, look for the UTSA flags to identify our group.

Participants driving to the event can park at St. Philip's College or Freeman Coliseum. From either location, you will need to take a VIA bus, which will drop you off near Martin Luther King Academy, located near the beginning of the march.  Make your way to 3501 Martin Luther King Drive (MLK Academy) and look for signage directing you to Section 8 (Colleges/Universities). Buses will run continuously throughout the morning.

After the march, buses will pick up at Nevada and Palmetto Avenue and drop off at St. Philip's College and Freeman Coliseum.

 
T-SHIRTS AND ATTIRE
Commemorative UTSA MLK March T-shirts will be given out to registrants to wear during the march. T-shirts will be available for pick-up on the university shuttles, and a limited number will be available at the march starting location for those transporting themselves. Plan to wear warm layers, comfortable walking shoes and UTSA colors! 

GROUP PHOTO
UTSA participants will take a group photo at 9:45 a.m. If you are transporting yourself, be sure to arrive early to allow plenty of time to find the UTSA group.
