Entries are managed by Timit Sports Timing using the RACE RESULT platform, with payments processed through Stripe. Entry fees listed for this edition include a child (under 18) rate, an adult rate, and a group discount for groups of four or more; registration and transaction fees apply.

Age-category divisions are provided for both distances and include youth, open and masters/legends brackets for male and female competitors. Participants receive a Tim Gates Classic t-shirt subject to stock availability. The organisers recommend participants are fit to compete and have sought medical advice where appropriate, and advise taking steps to remain hydrated.

The event course is clearly marked and timed with electronic race bibs. In the event of bushfire, severe weather or other factors beyond the club's control the event may be cancelled; entry fees are non-refundable.
