The event is professionally timed and is part of the Parker Parks and Recreation Run Series. Post-race provisions include a pancake breakfast from Flippin' Flapjacks and an alcoholic beverage option for those 21 and older.

A free Kids' Dash for children 8 and under follows the race and does not require registration. The event runs rain snow or shine and refunds are not issued. Strollers and leashed dogs are permitted but must stay on the right side of the trail. Parking is limited and proceeds will benefit the Town of Parker Scholarship Program. Volunteer opportunities are available through the town volunteer portal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
