The event includes a post-race festival with tacos and beer, live mariachi and banda performances, games, course entertainment, and water stations. Finisher items and services include two free tacos, one free beer for attendees 21 and over, a crafted medal, a T-shirt, and optional chip timing. Top three male and female awards are given for participants wearing chip timing bibs.

Packet pickup is offered the day before and on race day; there is a $5 fee for day-of pickup if participants do not collect their packet beforehand. Parking at Whittier Narrows Park requires an admission fee of $10 per car.
