The race features a primarily flat, out-and-back road course. Adaptive hand cycles are available for participants with disabilities. Registration includes a t-shirt, finisher medal, goodie bag, water, and snacks while supplies last. Awards are given in various categories, including top dog and adaptive athletes. Dogs must be leashed and under control, and participants are responsible for their pets. Dogs are not permitted inside the festival, except for service animals.
