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!!

RACE DAY INFORMATION
Saturday, March 30, 2024
Packet Pickup and Race Day Information
It is RACE WEEK, and we are so excited! The weather is looking like it will be perfectwe couldn't ask for anything better for March in Oklahoma! We wanted to provide a few details for our event, so that everyone has a smooth race morning.
1) Packet pickup will be at OK Runner NEW LOCATION at 519 NW 23rd St Suite 104, Oklahoma City, OK 73103, from noon until 5:00 PM on Friday, March 29th or on race day starting at 6:30 AM. You can also register for the race during packet pickup on Friday.
2) Race day registration will be from 6:30-7:30 at the park. Registration fees that morning will be $45 for the 8K, $50 for the 8 mile, and $75 for the double. We STRONGLY encourage all participants to register before race day!
3) The address of Route 66 Park is 9901 NW 23rd, Yukon, OK, 73099. Please make sure you GPS doesn't change NW 23rd to SW 23rd! This has been known to happen!
3) Parking for participants will be in the parking lots to your right as you enter the park. Once the race has started, leaving and entering the park might possibly be limited due to the need to let runners pass, so if you need to leave immediately after your race, we suggest you park at the Alternative Park just up the east of Route 66 Park. There will be volunteers helping with parking that morning.
4) The race start times are:
7:30 AM Fun Run
8:00 AM 8K
9:15 AM 8 Mile
If you are doing the Double, please know that you are chipped timed, so if you have not finished your 8K race by 9:15, your 8 Mile time will not until you cross the start line after your 8K ends. Otherwise, all runners will start at 9:15. NO runners will start before 9:15!
5) All participants will get a shirt, and all 8K and 8 Milers will also receive finisher medals and mugs. Our Doublers will also get gloves! We also will be giving away previous years merch if you would like to take some home!
6) We love dogs! Bring your leashed four-legged friends! We also welcome runners, walkers, strollers, and athletes of all ages and abilities!
7) Overall and age group awards will be given. Age group awards can be picked up after the races, near the timing trailer. All race times will be immediately available thanks to OK Runner.
8) Free pics, searchable by bib numbers and name, will be available after the race courtesy of the talent behind Okie Pics!
9) One of our favorite items! Pets and People of Yukon will have both their pop-up shop, and their van of adoptable pets out that morning! Just maybe you will meet your new best friend...
Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may still have. We look forward to an amazing race morning!
