The half marathon course includes five aid stations spaced approximately every 2–3 miles, stocked with water, Tailwind electrolytes and GU gels. There are no aid stations on the 5K course. Orca Running stages the event without single-use cups; participants are expected to carry a handheld or use a small reusable folding cup available at the start.
Additional details include provided pacers for a range of target finish times, overall and age-group awards (overall awards for top three male, female and non-binary runners are based on gun time), and packet pickup the day before and on race morning. Walkers and strollers are permitted under the event policies; dogs may not participate on course but are allowed in the start and finish areas. The finish area features a Georgetown Brewing beer garden with non-alcoholic options from Fremont Brewing, and proceeds from the beer garden benefit the Eastside Firefighters Benevolent Fund. Downtown Redmond offers on-street parking and a nearby Park & Ride, and the Downtown Redmond Light Rail station is a short walk from the start/finish.
