The course features extensive infrastructure for participants. Refreshment stations are located at regular intervals providing water, fruit, tea, and specialized sports nutrition like hydrogel products. Specific refill stations for personal hydration systems are available to reduce single-use plastic. Participants can also submit personal nutrition to be placed at designated points along the route.
The event is accompanied by the Marathon Expo and a supporting program. Registration for the main run is typically handled through a lottery system, though guaranteed starting spots are available via official charity partners, specialized tour operators, or participation in SCC Events training camps.
