The event includes in person and virtual participation options and a pet option for the 5K.

Registration details include tiered fees for each event. Examples from the event information include a standard 5K fee, a 5K with pet fee, a virtual 5K fee, a free Kids Dash, and discounted Hometown Hero 5K entries for qualifying police, firefighters, and military personnel. Packets are available for pick up at Runner's Edge; day of packet pick up is available. Race packets include a bib, t-shirt, and a finisher medal for the first 500 registrants; 500 t-shirts are available while supplies last.
The 5K course is USATF certified and will use Net timing by AccuChip. All participants receive a timing tag and bib; failure to wear the tag disqualifies a participant from scoring. There is a 90 minute time limit to complete the 5K.
