The in-person 5K and 2.2-mile courses allow strollers and non-electric scooters; bicycles are not permitted for the in-person race this year. The event is described as family friendly. The in-person format is run as a time-your-own event to allow the majority of funds raised to support The 22q Family Foundation.
Virtual options allow participants to run, walk, or ride from any location during the event week, including neighborhood routes, parks, or treadmills. Participants are encouraged to share photos of their activity on social media.
