From the Organizer
We're turning the clock back to 1970. No...1980? 1990? We'll just say 19-something and invite you along for the run! Grab a friend and go back in time to run a race that will remind you that the good ole days aren't gone yet. You'll be stepping back on a high school campus running one of the fastest cross country courses around! (Be sure to check out the Course Info) We won't blame you at all if you even dress the part wearing attire from whatever decade you want to go back to. Heck, we'll even encourage it and give an award for best dressed! Come join us, Back in the Day!
