Race shirts are provided to participants who pre-register by August 1, 2026; no extra shirts will be ordered for later registrants.

Both the half marathon and the 5K courses are certified, but the organizer notes possible minor course changes if road construction occurs. The half marathon route is marked with orange footprints and the 5K route with green footprints.
