Participants can choose from three main distances. The one-mile walk has a special "Tale Trail" feature created in collaboration with the Southampton Library, designed as a story stroll to motivate children.

The courses take place on nature trails with grass and gravel surfaces and rolling hills. All routes start and finish at the trust headquarters. The distances are approximate due to the natural trail setting. Pets, including dogs, are not permitted on the preserve or at the event.
