The race is headquartered at the Oliver Community Centre at 6359 Park Drive. Race package pickup is available on the morning of the event from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM. It is critical for participants to note that there is no day-of-race registration; all entries must be processed in advance. Currently, there are 108 participants registered for the event. For safety and insurance reasons, dogs are strictly prohibited on the course, and runners who ignore this rule will face disqualification. Following the race, all athletes are invited to stay for refreshments, draw prizes, and an awards ceremony supported by local sponsors like Cellar Door and Peach City Runners.
