Race registration includes a fan-shaped can race glass, a souvenir can glass, race socks, and access to a music and beer festival after the run. A lawn game zone is part of the event area and features cornhole, giant beer pong, and Kan Jam.
Packet pickup and parking are organized at the brewery. Early bib pickup is offered the evening before the race; on the day of the event participants pick up bibs at the brewery. Parking is available at the brewery and along Circle of Progress Road; when conditions permit, overflow parking may be located in a field roughly 500 feet to the right of Circle of Progress Drive with attendants directing vehicles.
