Kids Fun Runs are not timed. Overall awards are presented to the top three finishers per gender based on gun time; age group awards are based on net time.

The course is largely on bike paths; participants are asked to keep slower runners to the right and allow faster runners to pass on the left. Dogs are not permitted on the course and strollers must start toward the back. The half marathon has a four hour course cutoff from the race start. Charitable partners for 2026 include Cancer Champions and the Yolo County SPCA.
