The 5K uses USATF Certified Course #NY18006JJ. The course begins and ends in the large parking lot adjacent to the Senior Center/Recreation Building. Most of the route is on asphalt; a woodland section follows a packed gravel trail. One water stop is located at the midpoint and bottled water is provided at the finish area. Packet pickup and race day registration occur at the Calvin K. Richards Senior/Youth Activity Center near the finish line.

Entry fees listed for the event are $25 for the 5K and $25 for the 1-mile walk through race day. The Kids Fun Run is free and includes a finisher medal while supplies last. Participants who register by July 31 are guaranteed an event t-shirt in their requested size; a limited supply of extra shirts will be distributed first-come, first-serve, with an alternate gift if needed.

Awards include trophies for the first overall male and female 5K finishers and custom age awards for the top three male and female runners in standard age groups. There is free parking on site. The event has a no-refund policy and organizers may postpone, reschedule, or offer a virtual alternative if necessary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
