Runners are grouped into limited-capacity waves that close when filled; a wait list and a virtual option are available if waves reach capacity. The events are organized as smaller, privately managed group runs with coordinators on site. Timing is optional: participants may self-record with an app and submit results, or request that coordinators help track times. Timing chips are not used.
Participants receive mailed swag for U.S. addresses, including a running T-shirt, a finisher medal, and a finisher towel or giveaway. A digital training pack and an online certificate of completion are provided. Race bibs are issued on event day and technical shirt upgrades are available for an additional fee. Final race updates and course maps are emailed before the event.
A virtual race option includes the same digital training materials and a medal upon result submission. A post-race charity initiative donates one dollar per mile logged after the event; fundraising is optional. Sponsors include Gatorade and several running-related partners.
