Course and logistics
All courses use the paved History Walk trails separated from vehicular traffic. The path is mostly flat with slight inclines and declines, and is walker and stroller friendly. The 5K is one 3.1 mile lap; the 10K is two laps of that course. The 1/2 Marathon completes three identical laps totaling 13.11 miles, with lap distances noted as 4.37 miles each and a course split point at mile 1.85. Aid stations are spaced about 1-2 miles apart and provide cupped water and Gatorade. Race day packet pickup is located at the start line near the History Walk entrance. Parking is at Sunset Regional Park, with the south entrance on Eastern Avenue nearest the History Walk.
Awards and services
All finishers receive a medal. Overall male and female winners for each event are awarded to the top three. Age group awards are given to first place in 10-year bands; youth age groups are used for the 5K and 10K. Awards are determined by gun time. A designated on-course area will allow participants to hang themed dedications; items not collected will be removed after the event. Gear bag space will be provided on a tarp near the start and is not guarded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
