Participants registered for either distance have the option to choose their final distance during the race. Runners can stop at the marathon finish line or continue to complete the 50K.

The minimum age for participation is 15 years.

Registration is open for both distances. All participants receive a custom race bib, a short-sleeved tech shirt, and a finisher's medal.
