ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- The year was 1985. The Coca-Cola Company had released New Coke, Ronald Reagan was beginning his second term as President of the U.S. and the big movie of the year was Back to the Future.
It was also the year Anniston Army Depot began to hold its annual race, now known as the Making Tracks 5K.
Since that time, the race has gone through a few changes, at one time it was a 10K and, for a few years, a duathlon with the inclusion of a bicycle course.
To celebrate the milestone, ANAD's Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division decided to go Back to the '80s.
With music from that decade filling the air, 130 runners took to the streets of ANAD April 4.
The 3.1-mile route began and ended at the installation's Physical Fitness Center and wound through a picturesque portion of the west area.
Stephanie Young's son is the reason she started walking in 5K races. He did the Making Tracks 5K in 2001, before deploying to Korea.
When he returned in 2002, he convinced Young to participate with him.
"It was one of those things where, when I finished, I knew I could do better," she said.
So, she began to walk and jog through area 5Ks for causes she believed in. Young now estimates she has finished 35 of them.
And for many of those, she has worn three flags - representing the Army, Navy and Marines - one for each of her children who have served in the military.
"I keep my flags with me to remind me of my kids and the fact they served," she said.
