Whether you love the soulful rhythms of the 60s, the funky grooves of the 70s, or the neon-charged energy of the 80s, this event brings each decade to life—one mile at a time. Join us on the Greenway in Sugar Hill, GA. To honor these legendary musical eras, runners can choose from three themed race distances: 6K for the groovy 60s 7K for the funky 70s 8K for the epic 80s Can’t decide? Complete all three distances to conquer the Run Through the Decades Half Marathon—the ultimate time-traveling challenge. All athletes will receive a custom finisher medal, and we’ll present awards for all four races in the usual 5-year age groups starting at 10 & under, giving runners of all ages a chance to shine.
