The event welcomes participants of all ages and permits jogging strollers on the course. Dogs may join via a Doggie Dash add on; dogs registered for the Doggie Dash receive a medal, bib, and bandana. Participants who bring pets or push strollers are asked to start at the back of the pack and to clean up after their animals.
Course routing may change at the discretion of city authorities or the Nashville Police Department. Restrooms and first aid services are available at the start and finish area. The 5K has a posted time limit of one hour, which begins when a runner crosses the start line. Registration fees are non refundable and non transferable. The event supports local charities; the 2026 charity partner is to be announced.
Awards are distributed by overall and by multiple age group categories, and a costume contest is included. There is no formal awards ceremony; finishers must pick up awards at the timing tent, awards will not be mailed, and participants must be present to claim prizes. Every participant receives a commemorative shirt and a custom finisher medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
