The event offers a variety of distances and formats:

For the Dax's Kid Gauntlet, participants may start the course every half hour between the designated morning hours and are permitted to run the course multiple times with a single registration.
All registered participants receive a t-shirt, a custom dog-tag, and a plate lunch at the finish line. The event grounds include a festival area with games, food, and music provided by a DJ. Non-participants may also obtain plate lunches in exchange for a donation to A Soldier’s Child Foundation. Event photos are taken on the course and posted after the race.
