The OKC Memorial Half Marathon winds through downtown, Bricktown, past the State Capitol, through northeastern Oklahoma City and through beautiful city parks and neighborhoods. Crowds of spectators line the course to cheer runners on. And along the way, 168 banners each bearing the name of one of those killed in the Oklahoma City bombing reminds us of Why We Run.

As an additional benefit to running in any of the races, each participant will receive one free admission to the Museum.

If you are not at Mile 9 by 10:00am, you will be shuttled back to Scissortail Park to enjoy the Finish Line Festival.

The Red Coyote Half Marathon will start and finish at Scissortail Park near the Loves Travel Stage are. We run down the main promenade across the Skydance Bridge on the way to the Oklahoma River Trails. The out and back route runs through both the upper and lower parks before turning east on SW15th Street to Walker Avenue. Runners cross the bridge over the Oklahoma River then turn from Walker into Wiley Post Park to join the south river trail. We'll follow the trail to the west until we reach the turn point just past the River Cruise Pavilion. Along the way we'll pass the Wheeler Ferris Wheel, the Stockyard City Sign, and the Dell Corporate Campus. We'll return to the finish following the same route. The course is flat to gently rolling with only 38 feet of elevation difference with the Skydance Bridge comprising the biggest hill. This route is suitable for runners and walkers of all abilities.
