The event is organised as smaller, capped waves. Waves close when filled and are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Participants may arrive later and start upon arrival while coordinators remain on site for several hours after the first wave. Timing is optional; there are no timing chips. Runners may track time with common running apps and submit results to be posted online.
Registered participants receive support materials and an invitation to local running clubs. Swag shipped to US addresses includes 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. Technical running shirts are available as an optional upgrade for an additional fee. Race bibs are provided on race day and shirts are mailed the week of the race; late registrants may receive shirts after the event.
Several registration options are listed with associated fees for each distance. After the race, organisers donate one dollar per mile logged to partner charities; fundraising is optional. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
