The event utilizes chip timing technology to provide runners with accurate finishing times, which are available immediately after crossing the finish line. Facilities at the start and finish area include a free baggage drop, toilets, and a medical team. The main building at the Hawker Centre is accessible to participants, provided that cleanliness is maintained to respect the resident members. Approximately ten minutes before the run begins, a communal pre-race warm-up is conducted.
Following the race, participants receive a finisher's medal and a selection of refreshments, including water, juices, fruit, and snacks. An official photographer is stationed along the course to capture images of the runners. The event supports the Kingston Hospital Charity as its official partner.
Participants must be at least 18 years old on the day of the event. Safety regulations stipulate that only bone-conducting headphones are permitted, in accordance with UKA rules. While there is no parking available directly at the Hawker Centre, free parking can be found in nearby residential streets such as Dukes Avenue and Riverside Drive. The venue is also accessible from Kingston station via a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
