The venue covers about 1,000 acres of hilly terrain. The 5k is also run on trail terrain and is described as more demanding than a typical road 5k.
There will be three water stations and two light aid stations with snacks on course. All participants in the 5k, 25k, and 50k receive a race shirt and a finisher's medal. Awards will be given to the top two overall male and female finishers in each distance. Packet pickup occurs on race day at the event venue.
