“What’s My Pace Again?” 😎
The BSL Classic is back — and this year we’re throwing it all the way to the late 90s / early 2000s with a pop-punk/alt playlist straight out of your CD binder.
New this year: in addition to the 10K, we’re adding a 5K and 1 Mile option so everyone can get in on the fun.
Think Blink-182, 311, Red Hot Chili Peppers — fast, fun, and a little rebellious… just like race day.

🎶 Theme
This year’s race theme is Late 90s / Early 2000s Alternative & Pop Punk
➡️ Think band tees, Vans, studded belts, smudgy eyeliner, and a finish-line playlist that makes you say, “Ohhh I forgot about this song!”
Costumes/outfits encouraged but not required — but you know somebody’s showing up in a backwards hat and Dickies shorts.
