Back to The 80s 5K & 10K

Event Overview

Get ready to lace up, turn up the volume, and take it back to the raddest decade ever! The 3rd Annual Back to the 80s Run/Walk is bringing all the neon, big hair, and retro beats to the streets with the 5K &: 10K and a live DJ spinning 80s hits, and a post-race party.

Runners, walkers, and families will light up the course dressed in their best 80s gear — think leg warmers, bright colors, and totally tubular energy. This event is more than just a race — it’s an experience that celebrates fun, fitness, and community with a nostalgic 80s twist!
