The event is the Boosters' main fundraiser and all proceeds support the Livermore Granada Boosters Olympian Scholarship program. The course is described as running through Livermore wine country. All participants receive a race T-shirt, a medal, and post-race refreshments.
Distances:

Awards recognize the top male and female finishers in the 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile. Schools are also recognized: the top elementary, middle, and high school with the most participants, and the fastest elementary, middle, and high school. The race offers student and group pricing: students 18 and under receive $14 off, and groups of four or more save an additional $5 per person. A community shirt design contest with a November 21 entry deadline was introduced in 2025.
