A virtual option allows participants to run at a location of their choice and submit results for a medal.
Swag is shipped to a U.S. mailing address and race bibs are provided on race day. The swag bag includes a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack; an optional technical shirt upgrade is available for an additional fee. Final race details and course maps are emailed to registrants shortly before the event. The event lists sponsors including Gatorade and TheBestRaces Run Walk Club.
