The festival takes place over a weekend, beginning with a family-oriented program on Saturday and concluding with endurance races on Sunday. The Saturday schedule includes a Family Fun Day featuring an endurance sports expo and various activities such as jumping castles and face painting.
The event offers several distances across both days:

- 10 km (2 laps)
- 5 km (3 x 1.7 km laps)

- 1 km (2 x 500 m laps)
The 50 km ultramarathon is held on a road course consisting of three laps. It is characterized as a flat course suitable for those attempting the distance for the first time or seeking a personal best. The 30 km race follows a two-lap course along the paths of Redlynch Valley, while the 10 km and 5 km options also utilize flat, multi-lap layouts.
The weekend concludes with a presentation event held at the Cairns Harbourside Hotel to recognize the achievements of the participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
