The course consists of two laps that start and finish near the cider house entrance, touring the orchards. The cross-country style route includes areas of uneven footing and slight inclines.

Participants aged 1-20 receive a discounted registration that includes a shirt, medal, and bib, but not the glass or cider pour. Results are professionally timed and posted online.
Course & Rules
The event allows walking and welcomes dogs on leashes. Strollers are permitted but not recommended due to the uneven ground; children in strollers participate for free and do not need to register. A virtual participation option is available. The race proceeds rain or shine, with potential delays for severe weather.
Awards & Charity
Age group awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in ten-year categories. There is no awards ceremony; winners can pick up their awards at the registration table.
