Course and race logistics
Courses use open-pathway, pedestrian-friendly routes such as beach paths and park loops and are car-free.

Organizers list 2 to 3 water stations on every course, and staffed finish areas include trained medical personnel. Staff are CPR and First Aid certified.
Timing is a mix of chip timing and gun timing depending on the event, and results are posted on Athlinks.
