In the past, this venue has remained locked when it shouldn't be. Don't worry, if the door is locked use the handicapped button.

The Salt Lake Marathon is taking place on the 13th (first day of the competition). Here is their schedule and here is a map of the marathon. Please make sure your route to the venue does not intersect with the marathon's route. Keep in mind that the Olympic Legacy Bridge is on the University of Utah campus. It would probably be best to make sure you don't get to the Union through Mario Capecchi Drive to avoid the marathon. I would also suggest leaving early in case you do run into this and need to deal with the traffic of the marathon.

Food is not supposed to be eaten inside the venue and the food court is closed on weekends. There are sometimes food trucks outside, but the information is not disclosed with anyone until the day of the events. You may eat in the Union Building (as far as I'm aware), just not inside the room the competition is held in.

There is a place at Lassonde (I think it's a 5 minute walk each way from the venue) that offers some food (it's been a while since I've been there, but I know they have at least snacks). There are other places nearby off campus, but they aren't walkable. Since food is further away, you may want to find someone who's not competing in 5x5 to grab something for you.

The Pie Pizzeria does deliver to the campus and is located pretty closely. I've also seen Dominoes get delivered.

Our sponsor for this competition is Oliver's Twisted Puzzles.
Oliver's Twisted Puzzles will be selling cubes during the competition on Saturday the 13th only.
