Sarah 's thoughts:

This race is a fundraiser that benefits the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network or PanCAN for short.
I've ran this race for two years in a row and know that I'll be doing it again next year since it benefits such a great cause that is special to me.
Overall the race was good. It was moved from October to August this year which made it very hot and warm. They also moved the race to the west side of the river trail which was good because the course was simple to follow.
The downside to this race this year is that they didn't have the turn around marked clearly. Some runners went much farther than they needed to.
The swag consisted of a purple cotton t-shirt which is nice.
There was one aid station that you hit twice since it was an out-and-back course. They gave out full size water bottles though, which was weird.
The course was 100% flat! Which is great if you are looking for a PR! The scenery was good as it is on the river and the water was flowing with green grass all around.
There is no expo for this race. Just packet pick up two days before at the local Cancer Treatment Center.
Parking was very easy, abundant, and free for the event.
The efforts of Purple Stride Oklahoma were able to raise over $99,000 dollars for PanCAN which beat last years total of $80,000! If you are looking for a feel-good race and you want to know that your money will make a difference, this is the race for you!
