- 5 km trail run
- Kids Fun Run, approximately 3/4 to 1 mile
All racers receive a special-edition finisher medal and a race t-shirt. Awards are given to the top overall runners, the top three in each age group, and the runner with the best patriotic outfit. Patriotic attire is encouraged and a prize will be awarded for the best outfit.
