All participants in the main races receive long-sleeve tech shirts (for early registrants), finisher medals, age-group awards, and post-race perks including a complimentary breakfast and mini-massage. The event also features team discounts, trophies for overall winners, support for the annual Spark of Love toy drive, and a festive, community-focused atmosphere that marks the official start of the holiday season for the region.
