The Retro Run 5k

This course was originally the "Sun Run 5k" course that was a very popular course during the 1970s and 1980s.  With the Greater Binghamton area having such a rich running community history, what better course to bring back to life?! With new name "The Retro Run 5k" there is plenty of opportunity to design an ultra-groovy, super-retro running outfit, use your imagination and bring some color to this fun-filled event! 

We will have Male & Female Age Group prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd places for 10 year age groups) along with prizes for Male & Female Open and Male & Female Masters for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
