The Run Lucky 5K and Mission Mile Fun Run is an outstanding event in OKC! Highly recommend it to any runner or walker. The entire event is a fundraiser for LLS, which is quite evident in every aspect of the race.

PROS
1) Over a 1000 runners participate in this event! Many of them have raised money to support LLS and are running or walking in honor of a loved one.
2) Awards are given to the top 3 in every age group. Prizes include beautiful pint glasses and gift cards to the amazing OKC running store, Red Coyote.
3) The after party is fabulous! Four types of beer were available to runners of age and cookies and bananas were available to all. The finish line is in the parking lot of the Classen Curve shopping center which makes it safe for spectators as well as participants to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere.
4) Volunteers are so enthusiastic! There was no shortage of people trying to help.
5) Every finisher got a medal
6) Race shirt is a long-sleeve tech shirt of nice quality
7) 2:00 pm start time allows people to sleep in a bit and enjoy the party in the late afternoon hours.

CONS
1) Porta potties were very hard to find at the start. I actually never even saw them so I ran into a grocery store before the race to use their bathroom.
2) Only one water stop that handed out full 12oz water bottles. I realize the water bottles were probably donated but it was difficult to open the bottle while running and then I didn't need the entire bottle for a 5K.
3) Difficult course with 3 major hills. This doesn't need to be a CON, per se, but runners should know it's very challenging.

If you are in town the first weekend of March, it is worth checking out!
