The event uses a capped wave format and closes waves when they fill; participants may request a preferred wave and waves are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Timing is optional: there are no timing chips, and participants may track time with mobile apps and submit results for posting. A virtual option allows completion at any place or time using a tracking device and submission of results to receive event items.
Swag is shipped to registrants in the US; race bibs are provided on race day. Included items listed for entrants are a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. A technical running shirt is available as an optional upgrade for an additional $5. Final event details and course maps are communicated by email before the event.
