All participants receive locally designed medals, high-quality athletic shirts, and access to a post-race party. Real-time chip results are provided. Aid stations are placed about every 2-3 miles on the 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon courses; those aid stations include nutrition options such as Gu chews, gels, waffles, and Tailwind hydration. A porta-potty unit will be available at each aid station on those courses. Restrooms and ADA-compliant facilities are available at the Sandy Point Park start/finish area, plus additional porta-potties nearby.
Packet pickup is available in advance at Fleet Feet Nampa and Fleet Feet Meridian; there is limited race day packet pickup at the start/finish for participants not using the shuttle.
