The 10K is one full loop; the Half is two laps. The course is described as not flat and not fast; there are cut-off requirements at the halfway point and at the finish line.

Podium awards are given to the top three male and top three female finishers at each distance; there are no additional podium awards in the non-binary category at this time.
Special provisions include youth pricing for runners 19 and under ($20 for the 10K, $30 for the Half, $20 for the Half relay) and a limited number of free youth entries available by request. The event partners with the Trail Mix Fund to waive registration fees for eligible runners.
