Available distances include:
- 1 km (designated for children)

The event is licensed by the TRA and operates under UK Athletics rules. Beyond the running components, the event grounds feature a variety of entertainment and services, including live music, food vendors, and organized activities.

The event is designed to create a carnival-like atmosphere where participants are encouraged to stay for social activities following their run.
