Chip timing will be used for the start and finish. Self-serve water stations will be available at roughly every 1.5 miles. The field is currently capped at 500 participants. Overall and age-group awards will be presented in standard five-year age categories beginning at 10 and under; additional awards include top overall, masters, grand master, and senior master places.
Event notes emphasize course signage and navigation: participants should follow posted signs rather than other runners, review the course in advance if unfamiliar, and use caution when using earbuds. The Racejoy app is mentioned as a tool to indicate when a participant goes off course. The last day to register to guarantee a shirt size is December 19. Race day registration and packet pickup are available on the day of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
