Race headquarters are located at the Visitor Centre within Chasewater Country Park. The park provides various facilities for participants and spectators, including a cafe, toilets, and a children's play area. The site also features a steam train and water sports activities. Aid stations are positioned along the course to provide refreshments, and all finishers receive a themed medal.
The event permits fancy dress for all participants. Minimum age requirements are in place for the different distances: 15 years for the 5 km, 16 years for the 10 km, 17 years for the Half Marathon, and 18 years for the Marathon.
