Registration fees do not count toward individual fundraising totals.

Packet pickup locations are the Medina Fire Department Station 1 at 300 W. Reagan Pkwy and the Medina Historic Public Square (north side, Liberty St.), with scheduled pickup times the two days before the event and the morning of the event. Someone else may pick up a packet with ID and a copy of the registration receipt.

On-course services and logistics include water at the fire station on the route and at the finish area, public restrooms on the northwest side of the Square, porta-johns near the fire station, and an on-site Emergency Medical Service team with radio communication. Bibs must be worn on the front of the outermost garment. Strollers, wheelchairs, firefighter turnout gear, and military backpacks are permitted, with specific corral placement and delayed starts for some participants. Awards are simple and focused on participants wearing firefighter, police, or military gear rather than age-based prizes. Results will be posted after the event.
