The event offers several ways to participate in person or remotely:
- 5K Run: A professionally chip-timed running event.
- 2 Mile Walk: An untimed walking course where participants may turn around at any point.
- Relax: A non-competitive option located in a dedicated tent within the festival area for those who prefer not to run or walk but wish to hear the speakers and engage with the community.
- Virtual Event: An option for those unable to attend in person, allowing for various forms of movement such as cycling, yoga, or swimming.

All finishers in the walking and running categories receive a medal. Performance awards are presented to the first-place male, female, and non-binary finishers in the 5K race. Additional prizes are distributed for fundraising achievements and "spirit" categories, including a prize for participants dressed in purple attire.
