There will be one aid station on the 10 mile course, located around the six mile mark, offering water, electrolyte drink, light snacks, soda, and similar items. Cold water and refreshments will also be available at the finish area; runners are advised to be prepared to carry water during the race.

Post race amenities include a prepared breakfast, drinks, music, vendors, and a photo area with props. All finishers receive a high quality medal and a premium tri blend race shirt. Proceeds benefit the Friends of Wooster Memorial Park. Awards will be given for top overall finishers and for age group winners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
