The loop is designed to keep runners near support and facilities. Bathrooms and water are available every two miles. There are timing locations at each mile marker to provide accurate mile splits and full post-race reporting. The course is described as spectator friendly and fully closed for the race.
On-site facilities include accessible restrooms, parking in the venue lot, and provisions for personal hydration tables. Event information notes a six hour time window for the marathon. A separate Two Mile Test Run uses one lap of the same course as a preview option on the same day.
