The event has a course time limit of 20 minutes for all runners. Participants still on the route after this duration are required to move to the sidewalk to finish their distance, allowing the local parade to proceed through the streets. Following the completion of the run, participants can stay in the area to observe the parade.

Event logistics such as packet pickup are located at a local business on West Lockport Street during the days leading up to the race. After the final finisher crosses the line, an awards ceremony is held at the same indoor location. Recognition is given to the top five overall male and female finishers, as well as the top five finishers in the masters and youth (12 and under) categories for both genders.
