Running Through the Decades - 1980s Edition is hosted by Bigfoot Running Company at Wheeler Park in Oklahoma City. The event offers multiple running options, a virtual race, and themed pre-race activities that celebrate 1980s music and costume styles.

Some in-person races are chip timed and include awards by overall place, masters recognition for ages 40 and up, and age-group pins or medals. All finishers receive a finisher medal and a shirt. A pre-race costume contest and a live DJ are part of the event atmosphere. Packet pickup, results, and awards are handled at the registration area on race day.

The course uses paved trails and park paths with possible mixed surfaces such as crushed granite or dirt. Aid stations will be available with water and support. The event takes place in public parks and greenbelts where participants may encounter other park users like dog walkers and families with strollers. Volunteer roles are offered, including options that combine volunteering and running, and volunteer positions include packet pickup, water stations, course monitors, finish line help, and a lead bike role.
