The 5K is part of the Pacific Association USATF Road Short Course Grand Prix Series and is a USATF sanctioned, certified course (CA18002TK).

A portion of race proceeds is donated to the Imagining More Foundation, which supports youth sport camps for student athletes ages 12 to 18 with athletic and educational programming and coach education.
Entry fees are non refundable unless Registration Protection is purchased. Transfers incur a $5 fee. Strollers must start at the back and not impede other participants.
