The event offers several ways to participate, catering to different interests and age groups:
- 5K Run: A timed competitive race covering a distance of 5 kilometers.
- 5K Non-Competitive Walk: A 5 kilometer walk that is not timed and focuses on participation rather than competition.
- Kids Fun Run: A short distance of 200 meters specifically for children aged 10 and under.
- Virtual 5K: A remote option for those unable to be in Sayville, allowing participants to complete the 5 kilometer distance at any location.
