About the Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half - Flagstaff
Buffalo Park is the setting, and the theme is decades of music, so expect the playlist energy to carry you through several distance options that stack on top of each other. The shortest course is a warm-up loop, the middle adds more ground, and the longest standalone option builds further still. Run them all back to back and you finish with a half marathon.
Race-day registration and packet pickup open at the race site before the start, so there is no separate trip the day before. Water stations are spaced along the course at regular intervals, though runners pushing a faster pace may want to bring their own hydration rather than stopping.

The Run Through The Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half - Flagstaff has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 22, 2026.
