Participants of all ages and all paces are welcome to take part in the event, and participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.

- 1 Mile Fun Run
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 13.1 miles (Half-Marathon)
Participant Logistics
This race does not require a traditional packet pickup. Instead, commemorative items such as the running T-shirt are shipped directly to the address provided during registration. Race bibs are distributed on-site on the day of the event. The standard registration includes a shirt, a finisher's medal, and a towel or other giveaway item. For those who cannot attend in person, a virtual run option is available, which includes a digital training pack and a medal sent upon completion.
The run is organized into multiple start waves to manage the group size. On-site coordinators remain present for three hours after the first wave begins. Additionally, the event is associated with charity initiatives where contributions are made to partner organizations based on the total miles logged by participants.
