Proceeds benefit the Long Island Police Crisis Foundation, with the first $1,000 in proceeds designated for the Nassau Police Running Club scholarship fund. All entrants receive a commemorative race shirt. Day-of-race bib pickup is handled at the Eisenhower Park Field House between Parking Field #1 and Parking Field #2.
Awards are presented for live race finishers only and include top overall male, the Susan Lipsig Memorial Award for top overall female, top wheelchair, and age-group awards spanning youth to 90+. A Law Enforcement Division recognizes the top finishers and top masters finishers; law enforcement entrants who do not win a division award remain eligible for age-group awards.
