These stations provide bottled water, sports drinks, and packaged snacks.

The event village at the Oakley Rodeo Grounds serves as both the starting and finishing point. It features parking, bathroom facilities, and a dedicated area for participants to leave personal items. From 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, the area hosts live music performances. All participants receive a tech shirt and a finisher's medal, while the top male and female finishers in their categories receive commemorative plaques.
