Such a memorable event

There's so much to enjoy about this marathon, from the history, the exciting start, the neighborhoods and things to see during the race. The amenities at the end are great. They prepare you so well before race day.

An Awesome Experience

I am closing in on 100 marathons and completing the 50 state circuit twice. I am really glad I ran this race and it is toward the top of my list. The residents in the community were awesome. The course was nice. The museum afterward was incredible. Oklahoma City should be your race if you are a 50 Stater. Only bad was the weather which you can't control. Tornado warnings not fun. Only real beef is man the course ran long. I don't complain about these things but my GPS had 27.6. I am never that far off. Others were making similar comments. I wonder if something was amiss.

Good organization, boring course

Excellent organization and pre-race communication. Packet pickup easy and pre-race logistics very reasonable. Springtime in Oklahoma can be very windy and race day was not ideal weather with high humidity, high chance of rain (though very little fell during the race), and strong winds. Spectators were significant and if that's your thing, OKC is hard to beat. Course was fairly boring and missed some of the prettier parts of OKC. Running down Classen straight south into a strong headwind for several miles in the last 10K was torturous and unnecessary. A few turns would have made a huge difference, both mentally and physically. Overall, race was well done, but would like to see some course changes.
