80s Rewind Dash – 5K, 10K, 10-miler, and Half Marathon

🎉 Race Overview

The first stop in our September “Through the Decades” series is here, and we’re turning up the time machine to the 80s. The 80s Rewind Run is your ticket to a morning of beachside miles, big energy, and throwback race-day flair straight from the era of power ballads, neon tights, and sweatband-topped runs. Whether you’re chasing a new PR or just want to cruise the path with some retro style, this run is all about celebrating the music, fashion, and attitude that made the 80s unforgettable.
