I had fun! The only couple of issues I had was- 1. The turn around spot near 23rd was very confusing - with the barricade the natural inclination is to go to the barrier- I feel like a couple of volunteers should have e been there - there was a banner but the race announcer just said pay attention to the turn around - my first time so, yep I ran all the way to the barricade.

Secondly- I do not think the 5k was properly measured - my 3 mile BING on my watch was on the turn toward the west, at the top of the hill, back to the park- when I finished it was reading over 4.3 miles - which is good because it’s the furthest I’ve run at one time, but it really messed up my attempt for a PR.

I will do again but will have different expectations - weather was perfect!!

Organiser's description

PACKET PICKUP WILL BE 3/28 at OK RUNNER ( The Rise at Uptown 23rd
519 NW 23rd St, Suite 104
Oklahoma City, OK) FROM NOON-5:30! RACE DAY PICKUP STARTING AT 6:30!

The Nate the Great 8 Race came about in response to a desire to keep the legacy of Nathaniel (Nate the Great) Hall moving forward. Nate was a fiercely independent, kind, compassionate, and mature young man with a heart full of love for all living things. He passed away May 1, 2019, but he lived his 16 years well, and his family and friends loved him endlessly. Nate truly believed in healthy living, and as a committed vegan he always searched for ways to support animal causes in our community. For this reason, Yukons Pets and People is our beneficiary for this year's Nate the Great 8 Race.

THIS WILL BE OUR FIFTH YEAR FOR OUR RACE, AND WE ARE CELEBRATING BY OFFERING A 5K FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!

Participants can participate in an 8 mile or 8K, or 5K competitive and officially timed race, or enjoy the 8 minute fun run. Runners and walkers who need more of a challenge can compete in THE DOUBLE by completing BOTH the 8K and 8 mile races! Doublers' 8 Mile race will start at 8:45 or whenever they cross the start line for the second time time, if they finish the 8K after 8:45.

Event times: 8K start at 7:30, 5K start at 7:45, Fun Run start at 7:50, and 8 mile start at 8:45.

We welcome runners, walkers, strollers, and dogs on leashes; all in the inclusive spirit of our beloved Nate the Great.
