Race support includes three staffed aid stations providing Gatorade, water, and gels. The event will use live timing and live tracking with a digital map, and the finish line will be live streamed with on-course photography and finisher videos. Registered participants are provided finisher medals and technical t-shirts. Food, beverages, music, and an awards ceremony are listed as part of the event services.
