As a member of the USA Triathlon National Women's Race Series, the event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and features several different race formats. Participants can choose from the following options:

- Duathlon: A 12.5-mile bike ride followed by a 5k run.

The swim portion takes place in a pool using a serpentine pattern across six lanes. The bike course consists of two loops through American Fork and Highland, while the run is a single 5k loop. The 5k run course features a downhill section during the final mile.
Registered participants receive a souvenir workout towel, a running visor, and access to a post-race pancake breakfast. The venue provides medical personnel on-site, certified lifeguards at the pool, and safety motorcycle support on the course. Awards are presented to top finishers in various age divisions and categories, including Athena and Clydesdale.
Transition areas are organized with assigned racks corresponding to participant race numbers. Three aid stations are located along the run course, with an additional station at the transition area exit. There are no aid stations on the bike course.
