Timing is optional: participants can record times with personal apps and submit results, and no timing chips are used.
Swag and race materials are shipped to participants in the US. The event provides a running shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, and an online certificate of completion. Race bibs are provided on race day. Technical running shirts are available as an optional upgrade for an additional fee.
A virtual option includes a digital training pack and the ability to submit results for a medal. The organizers note a charitable initiative where miles logged after the race may generate donations to partner charities. Registration fees for listed events range roughly from $39.74 to $50.48 depending on distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
