RideLinks Makes Your Race-Day Commute Easy!
Pasadena Marathon participants are being offered an additional free service
provided by RideLinks in conjunction with the November 16 event.
RideLinks’ “mycarpool” service will allow race participants to identify and
contact other participants via email and organize carpools to the event.
The “mycarpool” service identifies registered participants whose home
addresses are near each other, without revealing specific addresses.
Participant email addresses may then be used to contact and organize a
carpool to the event. Whether you are an environmentalist or simply want
to save money, carpooling to the event makes sense. Carpool organizers who
register their carpool on the RideLinks “mycarpool” service will qualify to
receive a preferred parking pass to the event. The first 300 participants
arriving on race day will receive RideLinks’ eco-friendly jute bag. The
deadline to take advantage of this opportunity offered by RideLinks is
Thursday, November 13, at 5:00 p.m.
* Login to https://PasadenaMarathon.mycarpool.net using the email address
entered when you registered for the Pasadena Marathon.
* Search for potential carpool matches under the “Search” menu item.
* Contact other participants via email to organize a carpool to the event.
* Register your carpool under the “Register Carpool” menu item.
* Print out your preferred parking pass under the “Request Parking Pass”
menu item.
* On the day of the event, display your RideLinks Carpool Parking Pass on
the left-hand side of your dashboard.
* Follow the instructions on the Carpool Parking Pass to find preferred
parking and claim your eco-friendly jute bag.
RideLinks was established in 2000 with a mission to improve air quality and
mitigate congestion.
