Registration is subject to published fees, with a Knoxville Track Club (KTC) member discount accepted. The event policy states no refunds and no bib transfers. Aid will be provided on course; runners are advised to carry their own water and any medication for insect sensitivity. Limited-edition T-shirts are printed for the series, one shirt per runner per season.

Safety rules: runners under 12 must be accompanied by an adult to run the adult race (not the kids mile). An 18:00 per mile minimum pace will be enforced and each race will have a sweeper. Participants who drop out should inform race officials; taking a bib implies one intends to run. Results will be posted on the Knoxville Track Club website and on Runsignup. Season-pass and kids-pass bundle options are offered for the trail series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
