The event features a grassroots atmosphere with a live DJ, prize giveaways, and post-run food and drinks. The courses are well-marked throughout the trail network.

Security and safety policies are strictly enforced, including the requirement for all participants to sign both an online waiver and an additional on-site waiver. Bib swapping is prohibited, and any participant who cannot complete the course must notify staff at the finish line or a course marshal.
