The 7-Mile distance is laid out as two full loops of the park plus a short out-and-back segment along Center Drive on the second loop. The course runs counterclockwise on the pedestrian lane of the main Park Drive and includes some hills as it passes through forest and meadow areas.
Course landmarks noted for the route include the Lincoln Road lawns, Battle Pass, Nellie’s Lawn, Long Meadow, Lookout Hill, Prospect Park Lake, and the finish at Harry’s Wall. Aid stations are provided approximately every mile. Race amenities listed include bag check, a vacuum insulated drink bottle, custom finisher medals for all finishers, and free finisher photos. A post-race pancake breakfast is provided.

Awards are given by age category with top places specified for Under 50, 50 to 59, 60 to 69, and 70 and over. Packet shipping to US addresses is available for an additional fee; on-site packet pickup is also offered.
