There is not much detail on the info page.
Yeah, you alternate running and working - I think last time they had three groups - run, work, and rest.

When you're running, it's usually a short (~45-60 sec) autocross course that you can run as many times as you can line up for. There's timing but there's no announcer and they don't let timing issues hold up the running -- it's more for your reference.

They also have course elements - a slalom and offsets, sometimes other stuff - that you can drive over and over again, often without waiting or just waiting for a car or two. There are usually no workers on these, so if you take out some cones you have to drive back out and pick them up.

Really fun stuff, and definitely helpful. I'm sad to be missing this one but will definitely go to the August one!
