The event is hosted by the Irish Mountain Running Association and is included in the Leinster Half-Marathon League.

Due to the nature of the terrain and elevation, all participants must carry or wear a mandatory Level C advanced kit. This safety equipment includes a waterproof jacket with an integrated hood and taped seams, waterproof full leg cover, a hat or buff, gloves, and a whistle. Runners must also carry a foil blanket or bivvy bag, a map of the route, a compass, emergency food, and a charged mobile phone. Participants are required to have the means to carry at least 500 mL of water.
This race serves as a qualifying trial for the Nasego Mountain Running Six Nations event held in Italy.
