Race options include multiple distances and a junior race. Each kilometre on the course is marked with distance flags and marshals are positioned to guide participants. The event provides a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, and post-race goodies. An event village is planned with food and drink options and free items from event partners.
