Course locations provide specific parking arrangements for participants. Events at Longshore Club Park utilize the dirt lot near the marina, while participants at Compo Beach park in the dirt lot opposite the beach entrance. The 8.4 Mile race at Burying Hill Beach has limited seaside parking, with additional space available at the Greens Farms Metro-North station, located approximately half a mile from the site.
The series employs ChronoTrack chip timing technology to provide net finish times. Runners receive their results via text alerts or email shortly after completing the course. Participants who register for the full 10-race series by the second race receive a commemorative short-sleeve tech shirt. All runners must check in before each race to receive or confirm a race bib, which is worn on the front of the clothing during the event.
