Dive into an unforgettable race experience at the Aquarium Run, set to make a splash on June 6, 2026, in Jenks, Oklahoma! This highly anticipated event, a premier fixture in the Tulsa running calendar, offers participants the choice of a scenic 5K or a delightful 1-Mile run. The USATF-sanctioned courses are renowned for being mostly flat and fast, winding through the charming City of Jenks and offering picturesque views along the Arkansas River, ensuring a rewarding experience whether you're chasing a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll. Runners consistently praise the varied and well-monitored course as "fast enough for a PR but not a boring run at all".

Starting and finishing right outside the Oklahoma Aquarium on Aquarium Drive, this unique race promises more than just a challenging course. Typical race day conditions in early June see highs around 88°F and lows around 68°F, with a modest 16% chance of precipitation, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Every finisher will proudly receive a medal, and all registered runners are granted complimentary admission to the Oklahoma Aquarium on race day, providing an exceptional opportunity to cool down and explore incredible aquatic life.

Beyond the finish line, the celebration continues with a lively post-race party at the Aquarium's McGraw Beach, complete with an awards ceremony, a delicious cookout, and a dedicated kid's zone for family-friendly fun. The Aquarium Run isn't just a race; it's an immersive event that blends fitness, community, and aquatic adventure, all while supporting the educational programs of the Oklahoma Aquarium.
