Organiser's Description
TRCS EQUALIZER 5K 2025
Tulsa Running Club is renewing its Equalizer 5K a challenge among the ages.
The Equalizer 5K is an atypical race, leveling the entire field with staggered start times based on every age/gender groups 5K state record!
Each age/gender group has its own start time in reverse order. For example, males ages 85-over would start first at 7:30 a.m. (state 5K record is 35:24), followed 2 minutes, 26 seconds later by females ages 85-over (state 5K record 32:58). And so on, so forth until males ages 20-39 would start last at 738 a.m. (13:46 state 5K record).
The Equalizer 5K pits young and not-as-young against each other to recognize the best runners of any age and gender, so the first 10 individuals across the finish line will receive finisher flags!

The complete list of start times will be posted at the race. Be ready! Many groups are only seconds apart.
Well have a water station at about the halfway point of the race.
Pre-race day registration is $25 with packet pickup TBD.
Entrants will receive a cool TRC logo rally towel.
Race-day registration is $30 and race day packet pick up opens at 6:45 a.m., closing at 7:15 a.m. The first wave will begin at 7:30 a.m.
