Format, timing and services
The event is organized as smaller, private group waves with a cap per wave; waves are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Timing is optional: participants may track time with mobile apps and submit results for posting, or coordinators can help record times. No timing chips are used. Late arrivals can still run; coordinators remain for three hours after the first wave.
Participants receive a swag bag shipped to their US mailing address, which includes a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. Race bibs are provided on race day. Technical running shirts are available as an optional upgrade for an additional $5. Organizers send a final race update the Wednesday before the event with final details and course maps. After the race, each mile logged can trigger a $1 donation to partner charities; fundraising is optional. Sponsors listed for the event include Gatorade and several race partners.
