Participants compete in age groups from 19 and under to 70 and over. Trophies are awarded to the top overall male and female finishers, with medals for the top three in each age division. All finishers receive a medal.

The New Year's Day 5K & Fun Run begins the year at Katy Trail Ice House in Uptown Dallas, adjacent to the Katy Trail. The 5K race starts at 9:00 a.m. Central, with a 1-mile fun run following at 9:05. A virtual option is available for those who prefer to run in a different location. The event is designed for a relaxed New Year's morning rather than a demanding race.
