What to Expect

The race is described as a community-friendly event. The organizers note that for the 2026 edition, there will be a more sustainable prize instead of Easter eggs and mugs. Only entries before 15 March 2026 are guaranteed a finishing memento. Prizes are awarded only to those who run on the day.
