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 and a wait list or virtual option is available when waves sell out. Timing is optional and no timing chips are used; participants may track their time using running apps and submit results through the organizer's submission process for posting online. Race bibs are provided on race day.
Swag is shipped to U.S. mailing addresses; the event provides a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, online results and a certificate of completion, and an invitation to local running clubs. Shirts are mailed the week of the race and late registrants should expect possible shipping delays. The event lists registration fees for each distance and notes fundraising is optional, with a program that donates $1 per mile logged after the race to participating charities.
