The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is an annual marathon in Oklahoma City, OK that began in 2001. The event now hosts over 24,000 runners and walkers from every state and several foreign countries. The event consists of a marathon, half marathon, marathon relay (5 member teams), 5k, and kids marathon. The race is an official Boston Marathon qualifying event.
The inaugural race was held in 2001 with just shy of 5,000 participants.
The 2020 in-person edition of the race was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all entries automatically transferred to a virtual edition of the race, and all registrants given the option of transferring their entry to 2021 or 2022.[a][2][3]
The course begins at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, winds through Bricktown, the Capitol, Nichols Hills, and several of Oklahoma City's historic neighborhoods. Along the way, runners pass 168 banners, each bearing the name of one of the bombing victims.[6]
The start line is on N. Harvey Ave., between NW 6th and NW 5th at the west entrance of the National Memorial.
