For the None Run, participants need only a lawn chair; the objective is relaxation, not exertion. The running routes are situated on and near the golf course grounds. Aid stations are available along the courses, and registered runners receive precision timing. This is a new event designed to foster a community atmosphere. Participants receive a swag bag, a race shirt, finish-line photos, and access to a festival following the races.
