Event photography is provided; hi-res downloads are available for an additional charge. Other event services include food and drink caterers, free parking, public liability insurance, and professional first aid.

Podium and category awards are specified, including top three men and women in the 10K, veteran age-group prizes, and a first team of three in the 10K.
