New This Year - Kids Run!
Here's a great chance to get the whole family involved!
This year we will start the evening with a half mile, (one lap), kids run for athletes under 13. The event will be timed so our future Olympians can get a result and finisher certificate just like the grown ups! Parents are allowed to jog along and dream about scholarship opportunities down the road. ;-)
We will start the kids run at 6:30 pm and then do the Adult timed mile at 6:45 as soon as we have all of our younger athletes back from the course.
About The Course
The Runway Mile timed mile course is held in the heart of the Wheeler District, an exciting development breathing new life into the site of the old Downtown Air Park. The Start / Finish line and athlete staging are on Spoke street. Athletes take an immediate left onto 17th street and run to the corner and a right hand turn on Wheeler Street. The route runs south to Oso Avenue, west to Pioneer Street, then east on 17th Street.
The course for the timed mile consists of two fast flat laps of the circuit before turning back onto Spoke and the finish.
The 1/2 Mile Kids Sprint will be two laps on a shorter loop using Runway Blvd.
Packet Pick Up
Packet Pick up for the Runway Mile will be at the Oklahoma City Store location, (5720 N Classen), from 10-7 on Thursday 10/17.
