DIRECTIONS TO THE TOUGH COOKIE DUATHLON
From Highway 183
Take 183 north through Cedar Park, Leander and Seward Junction to the small community of Briggs. At Briggs, turn right off of 183 at the FM2657 sign. Go through Briggs, and turn right at the yield sign onto FM2657 proper, and follow that approximately 20 miles into Copperas Cove.
The fastest way to the race site is to turn right onto FM3046 and follow FM3046 until you reach Dennis Drive. The start-finish area is just before you reach Dennis Drive on your left. Parking is just past Dennis Drive in front of and alongside Martin Walker Elementary School.
To reach motels from FM3046, follow FM3046 until it intersects with FM116 South. Turn left onto 116 and follow it until it intersects with U.S. Highway 190. The Howard Johnson Express Inn is just across the intersection to the left. Other motels are right on U.S. 190.
From I-35
Take I-35 north to Belton and take the U.S. Highway 190 (Killeen-Fort Hood) exit. Cross under I-35 at the stop sign, and follow the signs to Copperas Cove. That puts you on U.S. 190, heading west. Drive approximately 26 miles into Copperas Cove.
The Best Western motel is accessible by turning left at the first light in Copperas Cove. Other motels (Cactus, Howard Johnson Express, etc.) are further west on U.S. 190, directly on the highway.
The race site can be reached by turning left at the light at U.S. 190 and FM116 South (a Shamrock station will be on the left) and driving about a mile to FM3046, that veers off to the right. Event parking is in front of and alongside Martin Walker Elementary School on the right, just before you reach Dennis Drive.
