Reflective markers and glowsticks will mark the route.

A light source such as a headlamp, waistlight, or handheld light is required for all entrants. Hikers are welcome to participate, and all participants must complete the 3.1 miles within 90 minutes. Packet pickup is available on race day beginning at 7:15 PM.

Finisher recognition includes a handmade medal for all finishers. Awards are given to the top three overall finishers in Men, Women, and Non-binary categories, and to the top three overall in the "My First Trail Race" division for Men, Women, and Non-binary participants; the first trail race award requires that the event be the participant's first trail race of any distance.
