Lace up for the inaugural Engineers' Week: 5K, a fantastic opportunity to run a flat and fast course through the heart of the University of Oklahoma Norman campus on Sunday, February 22, 2026. This 5K Run/Walk promises an engaging experience for runners of all levels, winding past iconic landmarks like the Oklahoma Memorial Union, Bizzell Memorial Library, Gaylord Family Stadium, Heisman Park, and the Engineering Quad. Typical race day conditions in late February in Norman feature pleasant highs around 55F and lows near 32F, with a low 7% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable race.
Beyond the scenic route, the Engineers' Week: 5K offers a unique atmosphere as a highlight of the nationwide Engineers' Week celebration. Hosted by the Engineers' Club at The University of Oklahoma, an organization with a century-long legacy of supporting engineering students, this event serves as a crucial fundraiser to continue their mission. What truly sets this race apart is the "Special Showcase from Engineering Students" at the finish line, where participants can witness cutting-edge competition projects and see the innovative solutions future engineers are bringing to life.
The race kicks off at 9:00 AM CST, with packet pickup and day-of registration available from 7:30 AM to 8:45 AM. Join the community on the beautiful OU campus, located at 200 Felgar St, Norman, OK, for a day of fitness, camaraderie, and a chance to support the next generation of engineering talent.
