The series comprises three live 5K races on the dates 8/21, 9/18, and 10/16. Each 5K is chip timed and includes age group awards and raffle prizes. Races are limited to 250 spots and are likely to sell out early. The series offers three different desert themed medals, one awarded for each 5K.

A virtual race option is available; virtual participants may run on their own day and submit a time, and virtual entries remain open until the end of the series or when each race sells out.
