A separate 5K begins at the Hoodoo parking lot and finishes at the top of Hoodoo, providing a shorter trail option that also features scenic views.

Dri-fit race shirts and trucker-style logo hats are available for purchase at checkout for an additional $30; size must be specified for shirts.

Prizes include a season pass to Hoodoo for the top male and female finishers in both the half marathon and the 5K. Entry fees are listed as $65 for the half marathon with a late fee raising the price to $80 after June 12, $45 for the 5K, and $25 for junior runners under 18.
