Race format and logistics

Races are organized in capped start waves filled on a first-come, first-served basis; a wait list and a virtual option are available if waves sell out. Timing is optional: participants may self‑track with apps and submit results for posting, and there are no timing chips. This is described as a smaller, private group run with coordinators on site.

Swag is mailed to U.S. addresses and includes a running T‑shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, and online results with a certificate of completion. Race bibs are provided on race day; technical shirts are available as an optional upgrade for an extra fee. Final race details and course maps are emailed the Wednesday before the event.

The event also supports charity initiatives: post‑race miles logged are counted toward a $1 per mile donation to affiliated charities; fundraising is optional. Sponsors include Gatorade and event partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
