Lace up your running shoes and get ready to shine at the Diamond Daze 5K on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. This community-focused event offers both a 5K race and a 1-mile fun run, providing an opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to participate. Beyond the thrill of the race, your participation supports a fantastic cause, with all proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Sequoyah County. The Diamond Daze 5K is held in conjunction with the larger Diamond Daze Festival, ensuring a lively atmosphere with live music, a car show, various vendors, and plenty of entertainment for the whole family.

The race kicks off with the 1-mile Fun Run at 8:00 AM, followed by the 5K at 8:30 AM. Runners will enjoy an energizing dash around the old Sallisaw High School, with the start and finish lines conveniently located around 220 W Creek Ave. Packet pickup is available on race day, starting at 7:00 AM. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 77°F and lows around 55°F, with the race start temperature often around 63°F. While there's about a 22% chance of precipitation, it's wise to be prepared for potential humidity. Aid stations are available along the course to keep you hydrated.

The Diamond Daze 5K stands out as more than just a race; it's a celebration of community spirit. Finishers of both the 5K and 1-mile run will receive a commemorative race shirt (while supplies last), and the top three male and female finishers in standard age groups for the 5K will be awarded medals. For those unable to join in person, a virtual run option is also available, allowing you to contribute to the Boys & Girls Club from anywhere. Come for the run and stay for the fun, making lasting memories at the Diamond Daze Festival.
