Camping is commonly used by participants and is promoted as an accommodation option for race weekend.

The event uses trails and a lake on private farm property and replaces a swim with kayaking on flatwater. Distances and formats include:
- Triathlon: 7-mile trail run, 6-mile kayak, 10-mile mountain bike
- Duathlon: 7 miles total run and 10 miles bike (segments: 2.25-mile run, 10-mile bike, 4.75-mile run)
- Triathlon Relay: 2- or 3-person teams, relay format
- Duathlon Relay: 2-person teams, same course as the Duathlon
Single paddlers only for kayak entries; paddleboards are not permitted. Relay teams must split disciplines so only one person completes each segment. The event is open to ages 15 to 99. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
