Registration opened on 7 September 2022 and closes on 12 December 2026. Races are organized by US Road Running, which describes these events as local and welcoming with a low-pressure race-day atmosphere.
Typical event operations include a clear marked course, race staff, finisher medals, and published results. Many races in this series are small and described as having one or two staff members on site. Emergency medical services are not stationed at the race location, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish.
Because staffing and services are limited, participants should plan for weather and bring any items they may want between laps. Race staff are available on site for questions and assistance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
