All distances share the same course design elements, including the locally known "Roller Coaster" hills. The event provides two aid stations: one located at the start and finish area and another positioned near the 4-mile mark on the course. Each distance has a 16 hour finish window.

Participants receive event apparel and finisher items. Every runner is given a limited edition t-shirt plus winter hat or gloves and a cowboy hat. Finish awards differ by distance: 30k finishers receive a hand-made wooden finishing medal, while 50k and 50 mile finishers receive a belt buckle.

The event is organized by the Crazy Legs Race Series, which promotes non-pavement and pavement races in Northwest Indiana and holds events in local parks across Lake, Porter, and Laporte counties. The series states an inclusive registration policy for all gender identities and provides an acknowledgement of the Indigenous nations that historically stewarded the land used for its races.
