The route includes two water stops (one self-serve), a pavilion area, and flagging, signs, and volunteers for direction. The course is not completely closed to traffic, so participants should watch for vehicles.

Climbing the tower is optional. Runners who climb the tower after finishing will receive a finisher's medal at the top; a signed waiver is required before climbing and the waiver is valid for the day. Awards are given to the first three males and first three females in each division. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
