The festival is ITRA/UTMB indexed and is described as family friendly. The Indigenous Marathon Foundation is a named charity partner. The University of Canberra provides a recovery hub on event day staffed by physiotherapy students and supervisors to offer post-run support.
Logistics published for the event note several bib collection options: pre-event collection at the Canberra and Region Visitor Information Centre, an event-eve collection at the Stromlo Forest Park event hub, and event-day collection at the event hub. Parking at Stromlo Forest Park includes 487 paid spaces plus a short-term drop off zone. Organisers state there will be no prize presentations on the day.
The festival references community values such as strength, resilience, courage, and community. Ownership and management have recently transitioned to Race Hub Australia while original organisers remain involved to support continuity.
