The out-and-back course follows the North Diversion Channel Trail, a shared path. The majority of the route is flat with some elevation changes where the trail passes under major streets. Aid and hydration stations and porta potties are available at several points along the half marathon and 10K courses. A designated aid station is located at the halfway point of the 5K. Restrooms are available at the start and finish and at the 5K turnaround.
Race services and provisions vary by distance. Half marathon, 10K, and 5K participants receive a t-shirt, a finisher's medal, a breakfast burrito, and a pint of beer or a root beer alternative. One miler participants receive a breakfast burrito and beer or root beer but do not receive a shirt or medal. Beer is available only to participants aged 21 and over; minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Packet pickup is scheduled for the evening before the event at Canteen Brewhouse. Day of packet pickup and registration will be available but shirts may not be guaranteed for late registrants. Professional timing is provided by Feral Adventures. A post-race raffle is open to all finishers using bib numbers as raffle entries.
