The course uses a mix of paved closed roads and park trails, featuring wide roads, shaded paths, and access from Woodhaven Boulevard toward Victory Field where the start, finish, and staging area are located.
Amenities for registered 5K participants include an event T shirt, and the first 200 registered participants receive a 10th anniversary medal. Coffee and cake are provided after the event. Awards include medals or trophies for the top three male and top three female overall finishers.
Bib pickup is handled on site beginning one hour before the event; registering three weeks in advance allows for a personalized bib. A bib number is required for pickup. Last-minute registrants within 24 hours will receive a bib number by text, typically within 90 seconds.
