The event is USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned.
Participants can choose from several event formats:
- Olympic Triathlon: 1.5k swim, 24 mile bike, and 10k run.

The swim portion utilizes a time trial start where two athletes enter the water every few seconds. An Elite Box Start is also available for those wishing to start at the front of the field. The bike course consists of paved roads through the countryside, while the run course features a mix of flat sections and steady hills.
