The start and finish are located in the parking lot of the Trussville Senior Citizens Center. There are two aid stations, one near the halfway mark of the loop and one at the loop end/beginning. Trail shoes or hiking boots are recommended due to roots and rocks on the course.

All registrants receive a finishers medal. Awards are given to the 1st overall male and female in each distance and to 1st and 2nd male and female in each age division for each distance.
