The event includes both an in-person 5K Run/Walk and a Virtual Run. The in-person event features age group awards for the top three male and female finishers in standard age categories, chip timing with real time results, and a pre- and post-race runner's brunch. Virtual participants receive a custom finisher's medal and a custom dri-fit tech t-shirt, and virtual registrations are restricted to US addresses. Event items for virtual participants are shipped after the event date.
