Course surfaces are asphalt and concrete on an open use trail system that does not close for the event. Water stations, restrooms, and GU gel locations are placed on-course; the half marathon, 10K and 5K each have specified mile markers for these services. There is no bag check because the course uses a common start and finish area. Wheelchairs, strollers and wagons are welcome when started from the back of the pack; bicycles, roller blades, skateboards and motorized devices are not allowed. The event is pet friendly with leashed animals. Race day items include a custom finisher medal and a dri-fit tech shirt with an option to decline the shirt for a partial credit. Age group awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each age group for in person participants. The event is limited to 750 participants and proceeds are organized by StartLine Racing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
