Course, safety and logistics
Courses are looped on existing unpaved park trails. The organizer notes that trails may include soft sand, standing water, mud, rocks, roots, and wildlife. Strollers, baby joggers, and pets are prohibited on the courses. All runners in the 5K event are required to wear a battery-powered headlamp. The event uses chip timing and the course is described as accurately measured and well marked.

Participants receive a race T-shirt and finisher medal; completing the Nighthawk Challenge awards an additional bonus medal. Awards are given three deep in five-year age groups and include top overall and top masters recognitions. Post-race food and drinks are provided.
