Registration opens August 2, 2025 at 11:00 and closes May 29, 2026 at 00:59. Registration links are emailed to waitlisted athletes and to those who raced in the prior two years on August 1. The event commonly sells out within 24 to 48 hours of registration opening. Team entries require every team member to register for the team to be recognized.

The race takes place on an island reached by a roughly 30 minute car ferry across Deaths Door Passage. The organizer describes the course environment as having smooth roads, clear water, starry skies and waterside camping. Meals are provided on site for the field, with home cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for the typical field of about 150 athletes, plus brewed coffee and pizza supplied from a local pizzeria. The event is held in July. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
