Race formats listed for the festival include:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10 km Classic
- 2.5 km McDonald's Hero Run
- 5 km Corporate Challenge
- Marathon relay
The event takes place around Townsville and highlights local attractions such as Strand Beach, ANZAC Park, the historic city centre and views across the Coral Sea to Magnetic Island. The festival notes a connection with local clubs and organisations and lists a range of sponsors and partners.
The festival also features volunteer roles and opportunities to fundraise for Ronald McDonald House. Accommodation partners are listed for participants who travel to Townsville. Race information is presented across separate pages for individual events including the marathon, half marathon, 10 km and community runs.
