Registration for either in person distance is offered at a flat $27 entry fee. Commemorative shirts are available for an additional $25. The field is currently capped at 500 participants. The last day to register to guarantee a shirt size is December 19. Early race number and swag pick-up is scheduled for December 31 at the North Forsyth Middle School bus parking lot.
The courses are certified and the event will use chip timing at the start and finish. Self serve water stations will be located approximately every 1.5 miles; participants who prefer not to stop may bring personal hydration. Course maps are provided by the organizer and signage will indicate distance-specific directions. The organizer notes that participants should follow course signs rather than other runners and that earbuds can reduce awareness of course turns. The Racejoy app is available to notify runners if they go off course.
Awards will be presented for overall and age group placings, with 5-year age categories beginning at 10 and under, and standard overall and masters divisions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
