The 5K, Quarter Marathon, and Half Marathon are chip-timed events. Standard age group awards are provided for these distances, with overall male and female winners receiving trophies. Aid stations are positioned along the course to provide hydration and assistance to participants.
A costume contest is held before the race begins, themed around the tradition of Día de los Muertos. Participants are encouraged to wear creative and vibrant attire. After finishing, runners can access the rally tent for snacks, refreshments, and live awards announcements.
Participants can register for a "Volunteer then Run" option, which involves helping with packet pickup before participating in their chosen race distance.
