A dice roll 15 seconds before the race determines the random race distance. A GPX route file is available for the course. Packet pickup is scheduled before the event at the pavilion. The pavilion also serves as the aid station, offering snacks, jugs for refills, trash cans, and first aid support. Race photographs are provided for participants at no charge.

The refund policy returns 100% within 90 days, 50% within 30 days, and no refunds within 10 days; if the race is canceled, entrants are offered a free future race instead of a refund.
