The organizer will donate 100% of registration fees to charity, split evenly between Mesa United Way-Foster360 and the Charitable Foundation of the Rotary Club of Mesa. Packet pickup is set for Friday, January 8; the precise pickup location is to be determined. Race shirts are provided at packet pickup.
Awards are planned for top finishers: prizes for the top male and female in the 20k, 10k, and 5k, and trophies for the top three male and female finishers in those distances. All finishers receive a finisher pint glass and a finish line photo, with an option to purchase additional race photos.
The course runs through desert trails near Pass Mountain, locally called Scarface Mountain, and includes a section on Blevins Trail. The site has local Wild West history dating to 1892 when two men reportedly hid the spoils of a stagecoach robbery on the land. A Cowboy Outlaw Runner Costume Contest will be held, with a prize for the best costume. If a runner recovers and returns any lost silver, a reward will be offered.
