All distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. The 10 km has a cut-off time of 1 hour 35 minutes to allow roads to reopen. Multiple on-course water stations will supply water and Tailwind Nutrition. A photographer will take race-day photos that are provided to participants.

Every race entry includes full-day access to Gumbuya World and early access to the park before the general public. Participants receive a themed medal, sponsor giveaways, post-race refreshments, a personalised finisher’s certificate, and free race-day photographs. The 2 km Family Dash allows an accompanying adult; the accompanying adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher’s medal but will receive park access.
