A hikers division offers a non competitive, guided option where participants walk the course with pace leaders; this division does not have a podium and participants are asked not to run. Estimated completion times are about 2 hours for the Sport course and 3 hours for the Enduro for hikers.
The event is cup free; water and an electrolyte drink are available at the start, finish and at one or more aid stations depending on the venue. Portable and on site washrooms are provided and parking is described as plentiful. On site amenities and nearby entertainment include the Eagle Coaster, indoor and outdoor dining, and axe throwing.
