12 Must Have Songs for the Ultimate Sci-5K Playlist [VIDEO]

The most unique 5K obviously needs the most unique playlist.

The right kind of music can make or break your run, so it's essential that you have the most appropriate music to meet your running needs.

The very first Sci-5K is coming to Rockford on October 3rd and while it might seem necessary to pump your ear drums full of the traditional house, hip hop and techno music to get the blood flowing; I thought we would take a little less traditional route.

When you think of dressing up and running like aliens, zombies and your favorite sci-fi characters, you don't think of Jason Derulo and Calvin Harris - you think Star Wars and Weird Science, right? My thoughts exactly.

Here's the ultimate Sci-5K playlist to get you through any run. So throw on your Star Wars costume and hit play.
