Roanoke is approximately a 3 to 3/12 hour drive from Richmond or Charlotte and about 4 hours from Northern Virginia. From Interstate 81, take exit 146 (Hollins University exit). Take a left (from 81 South) or a right (from 81 North) off the exit (toward Hollins University), and go approximately ½ mile and turn right onto Walrond Drive (you’ll see a sign for Walrond Park and the right is just past the Country Inn and Suites and a Mexican Restaurant). Follow Walrond Drive to the end at the tennis courts and take a right. Go toward the Senior Center (the log cabin), and take a left into the small paved parking lot just before the Senior Center. Go through the gates and follow the gravel road to the top of the track. Pass over the top of the track and turn left to get to the pits at the bottom of the hill.

There are several hotels just off exit 146, and they are located between the exit and the right turn to the track.
