The group also asks runners to run for someone who inspires them, tying the Disney race weekend to a specific education mission.

The 5K, 10K, half marathon, and 1 mile entries include a custom bib, designer shirt, and finisher medal, while the kids dash comes with a mini bib, youth shirt, and its own medal. A virtual option is available for runners who want the merchandise but cannot attend in person, and a Volunteer then Run entry allows people to help with the event before participating themselves.

The kids' races end with candy goodie bags, and adults may walk or run beside their children for the full route. Many parents run the 5K first and then join their children afterward. Proceeds go to Active4Youth, a local nonprofit that teaches sports and healthy activities to children, including a free elementary running program in Spokane-area school districts.
