The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon honors the victims of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing tragedy and celebrates the gift of life. Join over 26,000 participants in the upcoming Boston qualifying USATF sanctioned event.
The course begins at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum and winds through downtown, Bricktown, past the State Capitol, through northeast Oklahoma City and through some of the city’s most beautiful and historic neighborhoods. Crowds of spectators line the course to cheer on runners. Along the way, runners will see 168 banners, each bearing the name of one of those killed in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Participate in the classic marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, 5K, or Senior Marathon. Children from 6th grade and below are encouraged to join in the Kid's Marathon. Participants can also take on a variety of unique challenges for prizes and bragging rights, like running two races in two days, two marathons in a year or running faster than the governor’s team. All race results will be posted on the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon website.
