The course starts and finishes at Swan Island Dahlias and uses mostly paved roads with a short gravel stretch. Both distances include a small grass segment leading to the finish. Timing is chip based with UHF coded bib chips, and live results are available online and at the finish area.
Registration details in the source list opening and closing dates and entry fees for each distance. Registered participants receive an official race T-shirt if they meet the T-shirt deadline, a finisher medal, free parking, and entry to the Swan Island Dahlia Festival. Packet pickup is scheduled on several days before the race at the Canby Area Chamber office and at Swan Island Dahlias.
Course support includes CPR/AED and first aid at the start and finish, water stations along each course, and portable toilets at the start/finish and mid-course. Parking is free on a grass field managed by venue staff; carpooling is recommended due to limited space.
Event policies state no pets or strollers on course, nonrefundable registrations with transfer options, and that wheelchairs handcycles and barefoot participants are welcome if terrain is manageable. Headphone use is permitted with safety rules and accessibility exceptions. The event is rain or shine. All finishers receive a medal, a fresh-cut dahlia, and festival entry; top finishers receive awards by age division, to be picked up on race day.
