The event uses timed start waves with a cap per wave; waves are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. A virtual option is available if waves fill.

Technical running shirts are available as an upgrade for an additional fee. Race bibs are provided on race day and most swag is shipped directly to the registrant; shirts are mailed the week of the race and may arrive after the event for late registrations. Online results and a certificate of completion are offered. The event lists several sponsors, including Gatorade and local running partners, and notes that post-race miles may support charity initiatives. Registration is shown as open from Oct 1 to Apr 4.
