“We are thankful for the tremendous support we received during our inaugural Decades Dash in 2017,” said Karen Swanner, of MUC Marketing. “This year, runners will enjoy remnants of the ‘70’s as they enjoy our beautiful campus. Our musical disco tunnel will surely provide the boost they need to finish strong!”

Each participant will receive a shirt, goody bag and finishers medal. Awards will be given for the top three overall finishers, top three in each age group and the best dressed of the ‘70’s.
