Race features and logistics
The course is described as hilly. All registered participants receive a performance tee (gender-specific options) and a collectible finisher mug. Hot beverages such as apple cider, hot cocoa or tea are served at the finish area. The event is an official BOLDERBoulder qualifier, so finishing times may be used for BOLDERBoulder wave qualification.
The race includes a food drive for local students, with Backpack Society named as the charity partner. Bringing five or more in-kind items enters participants into a race-day raffle; preferred donation items include cereal and granola bars, peanut butter and jelly, family-sized crackers, canned tuna or chicken, and pasta or pasta sauce. The event also partners with Sneakers4Funds to collect gently used or new athletic shoes; proceeds support Growing Home.
Advance registration is not required; registration is available online and in person on race day. The organizer notes the event will run under most weather conditions but may be postponed or canceled for extreme conditions such as active lightning, tornado, white-out blizzard, or temperatures below 0°F.
