The in-person program includes a chip-timed 5K on a flat, fast course through downtown London and Veteran's Memorial Park with overall and age-group awards. Additional on-site events include an untimed 1 mile fun walk, a free 400-yard Kid's Dash for children 9 and under with participation medals, and volunteer opportunities where full-shift volunteers receive a commemorative volunteer shirt. A virtual 5K option lets participants run or walk remotely and receive a commemorative T-shirt.
Race features noted by the organizer include commemorative race T-shirts, chip timing and race management, free race photos, a DJ, post-race food, team prizes for social teams, and a best-dressed pink contest. Awards are planned for the top three male and female overall finishers and top three in five-year age groups. Walkers, strollers, and dogs on fixed-length leashes are welcomed in applicable events.
