Sign-ups max out at 500 racers.

This is a RUN ONLY event. No walking allowed due to restricted road closures with the Official Bridge Day event. The minimum age to enter the race is 8.

Race participants are required to maintain a pace of 15 minutes per mile for the initial mile, prioritizing safety during West Virginia's premier one-day festival. Participants have the flexibility to incorporate walking breaks or adjust to a slower pace after completing the first mile.
