Registered hikers receive an informative guide that highlights points of interest and historical monuments encountered along the course. Participants may see local wildlife such as deer and box turtles and will pass a number of historic monuments.
All participants receive a custom 3-inch holographic Ratrie Arboretum sticker and one raffle entry with prizes that include local gift cards, original artwork and prints, a handcrafted rustic log birdhouse, and a music CD. Awards are presented to overall first place male and female finishers and to first place finishers in the following age categories: 14 and under; 15 to 18; 19 to 25; 26 to 35; 36 to 45; 46 to 55; 56 to 65; and seniors 66 and older.
