About the Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half

The race is built around a decades theme, with separate courses for each era that stack into a half marathon if you want to run them all back to back. The half marathon is not a standalone route; it is the shorter courses run in sequence. Water stations are self-serve and spaced out, so runners going for time may want to carry their own hydration.

Everything is handled at the race site on race morning, with pickup and registration opening before the start. There is no separate location to track down the day before.

Common Questions About the Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half

Will I finish last at the Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half?

Almost certainly not. Half the 6K field finished slower than 45:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:27:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half a good first 6K?

It is a small race (41 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 6K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half?

The 6K winner ran 31:14 while the median finisher took 45:08. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
