It is open to participants of all ages and paces, including both runners and walkers. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.

Swag and Logistics
There is no formal packet pickup required on the day of the race. Instead, the organizers ship running shirts directly to the address provided during registration. Participants typically receive their shirts the week of the race, while race bibs are provided on-site. The standard registration includes a cotton t-shirt, which can be upgraded to a moisture-wicking technical shirt. All finishers receive a medal and a towel or other giveaway item.
A virtual run option is also available for those who cannot attend in person. This option includes a digital training pack and allows participants to submit their results remotely to receive a finisher's medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
