- Kid's Dash : 400 yards (1/4 mile), for kids 10 and under
- Virtual 5K : 3.1 miles, shirt mailed to participants

The Kid's Dash is an untimed quarter mile focused on participation; children receive a commemorative T-shirt or may choose no shirt and a participation medal. Virtual participants can complete the 5K on their own schedule within the United States and receive a mailed race shirt as part of their registration.
Additional event features include commemorative race shirts while supplies last, free race photos, social team options with a prize for the largest team, and volunteer opportunities requiring several volunteers to work a multi-hour shift on race day.
