The race starts at the Arthur J. Glatfelter Branch YMCA and concludes at Lafayette Plaza in the center of the City of York.

The course is fully supported with traffic safety personnel at intersections and medical tents provided by WellSpan Sports Medicine.
Finisher medals are provided to all participants at the finish line. Those who register by April 15, 2026, receive a moisture-wicking short-sleeved race shirt. Post-race food and beverages, including sandwich wraps, fruit, and snacks, are available for runners at the conclusion of the event.
