A non competitive hiking division is led by two pace leaders to allow participants to walk the course without time pressure. Estimated finish times for hikers are about 2 hours for the Sport course and 3 hours for the Enduro. Hikers are required not to run to avoid interfering with race timing.
Safety rules for the course include no dogs, no headphones, no strollers or child carriers, and no nordic walking poles except in the hiking division. Washroom facilities are located in the parking lot and there is ample parking. Awards and medals are given to the top three finishers by gender in each age category and to the overall top three, and all awards must be collected at the event.
