The 10K course is USATF certified, though ongoing road construction may require course adjustments that would void certification. The event uses professional chip timing and provides finisher medals for all participants. Top three male and female finishers in each age bracket receive a prize bag of goodies instead of medals. Other race features listed by the organizer include an updated 5K route, two dedicated cheer zones along the course, new race day check-in and packet pick-up near 7th Ave & 10th St, post-race refreshments, and updated race swag options.
Packet pickup is available the day before at 700 2nd Ave and on race day near 7th Ave & 10th St. Finishers have the opportunity to ride in the King Turkey Day parade as part of the festival activities. Local organizations named as event participants include Missouri River Energy, Worthington Public Utilities, Radio Works, Worthington Sport & Recreation Committee, Brown's Shoe Fit Co., and Avera Medical Center.
