The event uses a wave system with a participant cap per wave. Waves are filled on a first come, first served basis and a virtual alternative is available for those who cannot attend in person. Organizers describe the event as a smaller, private group run that allows running or walking for all ages when minors are accompanied by a guardian.
Timing is optional. Participants may record their time with common running apps such as Strava, RunKeeper, or Nike Run and submit results via the event form. No timing chips are used for the in-person runs.
Participants receive mailed swag for US addresses, with race bibs provided on race day. Typical swag items include a running T-shirt, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, and a digital training pack. Technical shirt upgrades are available for an additional fee. Organizers send a final update the Wednesday before the race with course information. Fundraising is optional and the event notes a charity initiative in which miles logged after the race are converted to donations by the organizers.
