The event is described as a smaller, private group run with a participant cap per wave. Participants of all paces and ages are welcome, and they may run or walk. The event has no equipment or setup, aiming for a stress-free setting with coordinator support.
Participants can choose from several distances:

A key feature is that race timing is optional. Participants may track their own time using a mobile app, or coordinators can assist. No timing chips are used. Race bibs are provided on the event day.
Registration includes a swag bag. Items like a running t-shirt, finisher's medal, and towel are shipped to the participant's US mailing address. A technical running shirt is available as a paid upgrade. Packet pickup is not required as items are mailed.
The event is structured in waves starting at 7:30 AM, with later waves at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM. Late runners can join upon arrival, as coordinators stay for three hours after the first wave. The event has sponsors including Gatorade. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
