The paved course is described as fairly flat with minimal hills. The 5k is an out-and-back route and the 10k repeats the 5k course twice. There are two water stations along the course. Restrooms are available near the parking lot, and restrooms, first aid, and an AED are located at the pavilion to the left of the park entrance.
Event services and features include a family festival with a bounce house, slide, DJ music, games, vendors, playground, food trucks, animals, project lifesaver, and live music along the race path. A virtual run option is offered for those unable to attend in person. Live results are posted online and a QR code at the event provides immediate access to results.
Runners receive a finisher’s medal, race shirt, and chip timing for timed events. The 1/4 mile dash and 1 mile run are untimed with no awards. Packet pickup is available at the event; participants are asked to arrive about one hour before their race to check in. T-shirt guarantees apply to registrations completed before April 7. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to top finishers in specified age groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
