It offers a festive atmosphere with pre-race music and warm-ups, welcoming runners of all ages and fitness levels. Participants can choose from a 1 Mile Fun Run, 5K, or 10K race.

The event features age-group awards and supports the Special Olympics of Henry County. Registration includes race bibs, chip timing, and commemorative t-shirts (if registered by the deadline). A "Naked Runner" option is available at a lower price without medals or shirts.
