The event favors community and reflection, honoring Dr. King’s legacy, and describes a smaller, private-wave format with caps per wave. Timing is optional; no chips, and runners may log times via an app or coordinators.

Perks include a race T-shirt shipped to registrants, a finisher medal and towel or giveaway, online results, and access to running clubs. Virtual option available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
