Registration for the event includes event apparel, a finisher's medal, access to the Colorado National Monument, post-race food, chip timing, and other race services. Mile markers are placed every two miles along the course.

Logistics are centered on the Fruita Community Center, which hosts packet pick-up the day before and on race morning and provides shuttle service to the start lines. There is no parking at either start line; drop-off is permitted at the full marathon start but not at the half marathon start because of road closures. Spectators are not allowed on the Colorado National Monument; recommended spectator areas include James M. Robb State Park and the Fruita Community Center.

Gear drop is available at designated aid stations: full marathon gear may be left at Red Canyon Overlook Aid Station #2 and Monument Canyon View Aid Station #5; half marathon gear may be left at Monument Canyon View Aid Station #5. Gear bags are expected to be returned by early afternoon. The event publishes course records and enforces cutoff times at specific mile markers.
