These routes offer a measured course for competitive runners and a straightforward local path for casual participants. The field comprises competitive racers, joggers, walkers, families, and children. Age-group medals are awarded to the top three finishers in the 5K and 10K, with medals given to all participants who finish a race.

After the 5k, participants enter a Finish Line Festival centered on donuts and local vendors. The festival features a donut eating contest, donuts from Donut Petit, live music, food and beverage booths, Bay Area craft vendors, a health and wellness expo, and beer and wine for guests over 21. A specific local highlight is The Dancing Donuts, a group from Alameda's Dance/10 studio, performing at the festival and available for photos.
