Registration includes a custom race singlet and a post race breakfast. A waterfront campsite area will host a summer party with food and drinks, described as part of the event experience. Awards are given to overall and age group winners. The event combines a short gravel run with on site hospitality at the park and opportunities to view lakeside and river adjacent scenery.
