Awesome 80's Run to Rock Miami's "Themed 5K" Trend Like a Hurricane

Who doesn't want to relive the days of scrunchies, leg warmers and bodysuits? Such gear is perfect for a good workout. Hence the brilliance of the Awesome 80's Run -- yet another themed 5K coming to Miami.

For a $40 registration fee ($45 for the 10K; the cost goes up if you wait till raceday), you score a custom '80s medal and t-shirt. Plus tons of '80s-style cheeseball fun.

"It's for everyone," says Kenneth Nwadike, Jr., President & CEO of Superhero Events, LLC. "We encourage people to come out, have a good time and be awesome.  Whether you are running, skating, hula hooping, we just want people to have fun."

The first male and female finishers will get a special prize, and additional honors will be doled out to the largest team, the fastest 5K team, the team with the most awesome name and the team with the raddest costumes. They've seen the likes of a Rubik's cube and a homemade Ghostbuster's marshmallow man, to name a couple. So break out those shoulder pads and get creative. 

For the non-competitive set, roller skates, hula hoops and pogo sticks are permitted, in case anyone wants to slide to the finish line in style.
