Whether coming in from St. Petersburg, Russia, St. Petersburg, Florida or Petersburg, Virginia, here’s where you need to head! The Mid-Atlantic Beard & ‘Stache Championships 008 will be held at The Canal Club in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom district.

The Canal Club is right off of Interstate 95. The main entrance is on 17th Street, between Cary & Dock Streets, near the corner with Cary Street.

We have two official hotel options for you: one close and convenient, the other is a standard option. Most hotel rooms in downtown Richmond are now north of $200/night, so we worked some deals out for you where we could.

BY RAILCAR (perfect for rooftop fights, just watch out for tunnels)

If you prefer to travel by train, Amtrak stops at Richmond's historic Main Street Station, a block from the venue. The Staples Mill Station isn’t that far from downtown, and we'll come pick you up and drop you off.

BY BUS OR ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIER

Another option is to take Megabus, which also stops right across from Main Street Station. The fares are pretty cheap, and with free Wi-Fi, is an easy and inexpensive way to get to RVA.

BY U-2 SPYPLANE, TACTICAL HELICOPTER, OR AGENCY JET

Richmond International (RIC) is ~10 miles away. If you choose to fly into Richmond, send us your flight info, and we’ll get you from and to the airport. It's the least we can do.

BY SPEEDBOAT, SEAPLANE, OR SUBMARINE POD

The Canal Club is right on the historic Kanawha Canal, surveyed and planned by George Washington in the late 18th Century. The canal is connected to the James River, Chesapeake Bay, and Atlantic Ocean, for ready waterway access to the venue from your secret underwater headquarters.

There is no dedicated lot for the Canal Club, but public parking is available around the venue, including several adjacent pay lots. If you're not Lyft'ing down, we recommend the large pay parking lot directly beneath I-95, adjacent to the club. There are plenty of spots and no need to parallel park. The lot entrance is approximately at 1532 Dock St., Richmond, VA 23219.
