Participants have the option to join the event in person or take part in a virtual 5K.
The event includes the following distances and formats:

The in-person course follows a 3.1-mile route where participants are directed to keep to the right and pass on the left for safety. Volunteers and staff provide directions and manage posted signage along the path. For those participating virtually, the activity can be completed from any location within a specified four-hour window on the day of the event.
Facilities at the venue include check-in stations for packet pickup and waiver confirmation. Post-event refreshments are provided in the finish area as available. For those driving to the location, public parking is available along Ruston Way and in nearby public lots. The organizer recommends carpooling and arriving early to navigate expected traffic near the park. All participants are required to provide a signed waiver, and those under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian finalize their documentation.
