The event provides several amenities for participants. Each runner receives a t-shirt, along with snacks and refreshments. A specific highlight of the event is the availability of bacon for participants at the finish line. Before the start of the races, a guided stretch session is held to help participants prepare.
The event recognizes performance across various categories. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers within age groups organized in ten-year intervals.
