Welcome to the fourth annual Red Coyote Half Marathon from the heart of Oklahoma City!
We are ready to celebrate our Pack and the strong roots and running community with 13.1 miles or 5K of fun for a great cause. We hope you will join us for this exciting event that pays homage to our history as we look with clear eyes towards the future.
The event will start and finish in beautiful Scissortail Park in downtown OKC. Runners will cross the signature Skydance Bridge and visit the new Lower Park areas on their way to the Oklahoma River Trails. The run is the culmination of the Red Coyote Half Marathon training program and is open to runners and walkers of all abilities.
OUR BENEFICIARY PARTNER
Our beneficiary partner organization for the Red Coyote Half Marathon is Course For Change. Course for Change is a mentoring program, which uses long distance running as a vehicle for change for at-risk and juvenile justice involved youth. Youth between the ages of 12-18 years of age train with adult mentors to run a half-marathon after 12 weeks of training.
Red Coyote is proud to support their mission and the work they do in our community. If you'd like to help as well, you can donate during registration, make a separate donation at the button above, or visit their website to learn more and get involved.
Thanks to all of you for being a part of this event and helping Red Coyote make a difference!

ABOUT THE COURSE
Beautiful Scissortail Park!
The Red Coyote Half Marathon and 5K will start and finish at Loves Travel Stage area and run down the main promenade across the Skydance Bridge on the way to the Oklahoma River Trails. The route runs through both the upper and lower parks before turning east on SW15th Street to Walker Avenue. Both courses run south on Walker across the Oklahoma River.
The 5K proceeds south on Walker to the turn point then follows the same out and back route to the finish.
The Half Marathon Course turns 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 on the out and back course.
As you traverse the Skydance bridge for the final time you'll enjoy a downhill finish and an amazing view of Scissortail Park, Downtown OKC, and most importantly, the Red Coyote Finish Line!
The Red Coyote Half 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.
