The event is organized as a smaller, wave-based group run with a cap per wave; waves are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Timing is optional and no timing chips are used. Participants may track time with smartphone apps or other devices and submit results to be posted online; on-site coordinators can assist with timekeeping. Late arrivals are allowed to run upon arrival and coordinators remain on site for a period after the first wave.
Swag and logistics are handled primarily by mail for U.S. registrants. Race bibs are provided on race day and event apparel and items are shipped to the mailing address provided at registration. Typical swag items include a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or other giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. Technical running shirts are available as an optional paid upgrade. Online results and certificates of completion are offered, and participants may receive an invitation to join local running clubs.
The event lists sponsors and includes optional fundraising initiatives, with donations tied to miles logged after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
