Race Format and Timing
This event does not use timing chips. Instead, timing is optional; participants can track their own progress using various mobile running applications or request assistance from the on-site coordinators to record their times. Results can be submitted through an online form to be posted alongside other participants. The organizers release participants in small waves to maintain a manageable group size.
Participant Giveaways
Registration includes a swag bag that is shipped directly to the participant's provided US address, eliminating the need for a physical packet pickup. The package contains a running T-shirt, a finisher's medal, and a towel or other giveaway item. Participants also receive a digital training pack and a certificate of completion. Race bibs are distributed on the morning of the event.
Virtual Participation
For those unable to attend in person, a virtual run option is available. This allows individuals to complete their chosen distance at any time or location. Upon submitting their results to the organizers, virtual participants receive a finisher's medal by mail. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
