How fast is it?

Faster than most Oklahoma half marathons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:53:32, against 1:58:28 in a typical Oklahoma half marathon, so times here run 4 percent faster.

  • 5K: Faster than most Oklahoma 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 26:45, against 29:22 in a typical Oklahoma 5K, so times here run 9 percent faster.

Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.

Typical race-day weather

Around March 20 the day usually runs from 46°F at dawn to 67°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 15% of days. Cold snaps dip to 34°F and hot years reach 78°F.
