Primary parking is at Tuscany Community Hall; a small lot at the start/finish is available but fills quickly. Participants are asked to avoid blocking residential driveways. Volunteers are needed for setup, timing, marshalling, results, and kitchen duties. A post-race gathering is held at Tuscany Community Hall with hot soup, rolls, and beverages; attendees are encouraged to bring their own bowl, mug, and spoon to reduce waste.

Races typically proceed if temperatures are warmer than -20°C; the final decision rests with the organizers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
