Hikers are included in prize draws and event activities though they are not eligible for podium awards.

Safety and facilities: dogs, headphones, strollers and child carriers are not allowed on the course. Nordic walking poles are only permitted in the hiking division. Washroom facilities are located in the parking lot. Spectators are welcome, with the best viewing from the start and finish area. Optional swag and finisher medals can be purchased; awards are given to top three finishers by gender and age category in each timed distance and must be collected at the event. Volunteers who work four hours may choose an entry to a future 5 Peaks event or an item from the merch table. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
