I absolutely love this race. This was my first full marathon, but I've participated in the relay several times before too. From the start of the race, by the bombing memorial, to the finish of the race on the other side of the memorial this race is a great tour of some of OKC's prettiest locations. When you connect this with the fact that it was birthed out of the drive to honor those who lost their lives in the bombing this race has a special feeling to it. People come out in droves to participate and cheer on the runners. It has a great pre and post race experience and it seems to get better with each passing year!
