The event includes multiple age and division categories: youth divisions (8 and under, 9-11, 12-14, 14-18), an open community mile, a stroller division, a masters competitive division, and invitational elite men's and women's fields. The Youth 8 and Under division requires an accompanying adult; the youth 9-11 division is eligible for awards. The youth 12-14 and 14-18 divisions offer team scoring. The open community heat participates in team scoring through the Skechers Team Challenge. The stroller division is run within the masters heat. The masters competitive division requires participants to be 40 years of age or older by 29 July and able to run a mile under 10:00. The elite men's and women's divisions are by invitation.
Registration fees vary by division; youth entries are listed at $15 and most open, stroller, and masters entries at $25; elite invitational entries show no fee. A post-race gathering hosted by GOH Run is scheduled at Market Garden Brewpub. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
