Course and format
The course is a paved loop of 0.411 mile that participants repeat for their chosen duration. Runners, walkers, and relay team members keep track of their own laps.

This is a self-supported event and participants are responsible for their own food and non-water liquids. GPS watches may not be used for distance tracking; loops must be recorded on the timing sheet at the timing tent. The park remains open during the event; the loop will be closed to traffic and volunteers will be present to assist. Gates close for park entry at dusk. Pets are not allowed, and participants are asked to keep noise down overnight. The event offers a 100% deferral policy if requested up to two months before the event, and accommodations related to pregnancy can be arranged by contacting the race directors.
