The event uses chip timing for results, offers a virtual race option with mailed swag, and has awards for top finishers in each age group.

Course, support and community activities

The routes run through the Historic 7th Avenue District and along the Oklawaha Greenway. Organizers describe both courses as fairly flat with a mix of nature and pavement; a backup route will be used if flooding is a concern. The 5K course has a single water station located just before mile 1 near Sullivan Park and the Boys and Girls Club. The finish area is adjacent to the Hendersonville Farmers Market and a Fall Festival; Bold Rock Mills River will provide complimentary non-alcoholic apple cider at the finish. The event supports local causes and includes a drive to collect winter items for the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
