The Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k events use chip-timing technology to provide live results and categorical awards. For those participating in the Half Marathon, pacers are available on the course. The 1 mile and Kid's Dash are untimed events. The Kid's Dash is specifically designated for children aged 10 and under, with a free participation option available for children who do not require event merchandise.
Registered participants for the timed and untimed distances receive a designer shirt, a custom bib, and a finisher medal. To ensure a shirt is included in the registration, individuals must sign up by midnight on the Thursday two weeks prior to the event date. Professional event photos are provided at no additional cost, and the finish line features various treats. A virtual option is also available for those who wish to complete their chosen distance at a different location while still receiving the event merchandise.
