Registration for the event is not yet open and will open ahead of the event date. Race-day check-in and bib pickup are provided on site. Virtual bibs are shipped to participants within a shipping window that begins about one week before the event and extends to about one week after the event. Participants need their bib number to collect an in-person bib; a self lookup area is available for those who do not know their number.
The course is set within Eisenhower Park, a large public park in Nassau County; the 5K course is USATF certified. Event amenities include finish-line photos, bottled water, live online and text results, raffles, and eligibility for a $100 AMEX gift card drawing for registered participants.
