The event combines running with 1980s music, a pre race DJ and a live 80s band performing at the outdoor amphitheater after the races. Food and drink are available at an on site expo and bar; registered runners receive one complimentary beer or wine cooler as part of their entry.
Race items and giveaways follow the 1980s theme.
