The course is an off-road trail through beaches, vineyards, ponds, and forests on mostly flat terrain. Terrain varies in places with loose gravel and grass. Strollers are allowed; pets are not permitted. Parking is available through RGNY with signage directing participants to the provided area across the road from the park.

Entry fees listed for the event include a Kids Fun Run fee and 5K fees; a higher day-of registration fee applies. Participant shirts are guaranteed for online registrations completed by October 16 at midnight. The virtual 5K is not held at the park, may be completed in a neighborhood location, and virtual participants are not eligible for awards. Results for the virtual event may be submitted beginning October 6.

Proceeds support creation of the Long Island Greenway; fundraising also benefits Harvest East End. After the race, participants age 21 and over may use their race bib at participating vineyards for post-race wine crawl specials. 2025 vineyard offers included complimentary pours, tastings, and discounts; 2026 offerings were noted as coming soon.
