Course and race services include chip timing using disposable RFID technology. Timing chips are located on the reverse side of the race number; race numbers should be worn on the front of the shirt and positioned over the belly button. Packet pickup at Kiwanis Park provides the race number, timing chip and shirt. There is a T shirt only option and shirts will be mailed the week of March 9 for those not attending in person.
Entry fees vary by registration date and range from $30 to $55 for adults. Children 18 and under have a reduced fee of $15 when registering before race day and $30 on race day. Awards are offered for the 5 km and 10 km; both include top three male and female overall placings and age group awards. 5 km age groups begin at 0 to 4 and extend to 90 plus. 10 km age groups begin at 10 to 14 and extend to 90 plus.
