Lace up your shoes for the Red Coyote Pack Pacers event on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in the vibrant heart of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This unique event offers dedicated pace leaders for both the full 26.2-mile marathon and the 13.1-mile half marathon, ensuring a supportive "pack" experience to help runners achieve their goals. The day promises typical race day conditions with highs around 73°F and lows around 50°F, along with a 16% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for your race.

Both distances kick off and conclude at the scenic Scissortail Park near the Loves Travel Stage. The half marathon course is celebrated for its flat to gently rolling terrain, featuring only 38 feet of elevation difference with the Skydance Bridge as its most significant climb, making it accessible for runners of all abilities. Runners will traverse the main promenade, cross the signature Skydance Bridge, and explore the new Lower Park areas en route to the Oklahoma River Trails, passing local landmarks like the Wheeler Ferris Wheel and Stockyard City Sign. For marathoners, the Boston-qualifying Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon course offers a USATF-sanctioned, certified single-loop journey through downtown, Bricktown, past the State Capitol, and into charming city neighborhoods, renowned as one of Runner's World magazine's "must-run" marathons. This route is particularly moving, featuring 168 banners commemorating those lost in the Oklahoma City bombing, a powerful reminder of "Why We Run". Participants in the Memorial Marathon also receive a complimentary admission to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

Throughout the race, aid stations will be conveniently located approximately every two miles, offering seven hydration opportunities with trash cans available to keep the course clean. Red Coyote Running & Fitness prides itself on its experienced pacers, many of whom are seasoned runners guiding participants across the country, committed to ensuring a memorable event experience and fostering a strong sense of community. Whether aiming for a personal best or soaking in the atmosphere, the Red Coyote Pack Pacers event delivers camaraderie, motivation, and a well-supported journey through Oklahoma City's significant landmarks.
