All courses are out-and-back routes. The course is not completely flat but does not feature sustained hills. Self-serve water stations are placed at approximately 1.5 mile intervals; runners who prefer not to stop are advised to use personal hydration.

Entry pricing varies by registration period; veterans race for free and active duty military pay a reduced fee of $15. A government-issued military ID is required for free or reduced entry. Participants registered by November 4 are guaranteed a race shirt in their size; after that date shirts are available while supplies last.
Awards are given to the top three male and female overall finishers in each distance, to the top three overall Masters, Grand Masters, and Senior Masters male and female finishers, and to the top three athletes in five-year age groups beginning with 10 and under.
