Dessert Dash - Oklahoma City

Lace up your shoes and prepare for a sweet adventure at the Dessert Dash - Oklahoma City, happening on March 22, 2026, at the scenic Stars & Stripes Park in Oklahoma City, OK. This unique event, hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, promises a high-energy, sugar-sprinkled celebration where running meets pure indulgence. Participants can choose from a range of distances including a untimed Kids Dash for the youngest runners, a relaxed 1-Mile walk/run, a chip-timed 5K (3.11M), and a challenging 10K (6.22M). Typical race day conditions in late March offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 68F and lows around 44F, coupled with a low 10% chance of precipitation, creating ideal conditions for a dash of any distance.

The course at Stars & Stripes Park features a varied terrain of pavement, crushed granite, and some dirt paths, winding through parks and greenbelts, so runners should be mindful of other park users like dog walkers and cyclists. While no major elevation challenges are highlighted, the diverse surfaces will keep your run engaging. Aid stations will be available along the course to support runners, adding to the festive atmosphere, you might even spot Bigfoot himself enjoying a donut.

What truly sets the Dessert Dash apart is its whimsical and rewarding theme. Every participant receives a colorful finisher medal, a super-soft Dessert Dash tee, and, most importantly, a dessert ticket to claim a well-deserved treat at the finish line. The finish area buzzes with music, energy, and name announcements, all complemented by dessert-themed photo backdrops and fun props, including an inflatable donut. This race is designed for smiles, making it a perfect outing for families, seasoned runners, or anyone looking to combine their passion for running with a delightful reward.
