The course is open to both runners and walkers, and the trails remain open to the public during the event.
The available distances include:
- Half Marathon

Participants receive a super soft cotton event shirt, available in pink or white. Upon crossing the finish line, every finisher is presented with a rose. Additionally, those completing the 5 km distance are provided with chocolate cake pops. The event is chip timed, with the timing chip integrated into the bib.
Custom awards are presented to the top three male and female participants overall, as well as the top three finishers in various age groups, ranging from 14 and under to 70 and older. All children participating in the Kids Dash also receive a finisher's award. Free digital photos are made available online following the event.
