The event offers two race divisions: an Open division and an Ostomate division, each covering a 5K distance. Registration is available between February 28, 2026 and August 1, 2026; the registration fee is $30. Awards are planned for top finishers in the Male, Female, and Ostomate categories, with specific Ostomate awards noted for the top three finishers.
