The kid's dash is untimed for ages 10 and under and includes a mini bib, youth-sized shirt, and a specifically crafted medal; children may run the kid's dash without swag at no charge.
Event services listed by the organizer include chip timing with live results and awards, free photos, and treats at the finish line. A virtual race option lets participants complete their distance anywhere and still receive the event swag. The volunteer format pairs a short volunteer shift with the opportunity to run any distance; volunteers are asked to arrive 30 minutes before packet pickup.
