Registration for the race provides several items for participants. Runners and walkers receive a short sleeve t-shirt, a finisher medal, and a chip-timed race bib.

The event is timed and scored professionally by J3 Timing. This ensures that live race results are available for all participants, with final standings posted online following the conclusion of the event.
