Entry to each race is free, but a mandatory minimum donation to the Acorn Trails Community Fund is required. Places are limited; transfers and a waiting list can be used if circumstances change. Entrants who buy a full-series entry should note a rule: if they miss two of the first three events, their series entry may be withdrawn and offered to the waiting list, with no refund. Additional sign-up options and merchandise are available. The series supports the local charity Give A Dog A Bone and organised litter picks will take place in each park.
