The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is about more than running, it is about celebrating life.

This is the spirit in which the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon was conceptualized by two Oklahoma businessmen who, while on a morning run, created the outline for this inspiring event. A group of volunteer chairmen and some Memorial staff, lead a volunteer corps to carry out the full weekend of events allowing the maximum amount of proceeds benefit the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

From its inaugural race in 2001 with just shy of 5,000 participants, the event now hosts over 25,000 runners and walkers from every state and several foreign countries. The Mission of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is to celebrate life, reach for the future, honor the memories of those who were killed and unite the world in hope.

This is not just another marathon. It is a Run to Remember…and a race to show that we can each make a difference and change the world.

Celebrating Sisterhood in Central Park

A chilly spring day welcomed more than 6,100 women to Central Park on Sunday morning for the SHAPE Women’s Half-Marathon. With a 15-year tradition of empowering women of all ages and abilities, this race is all about sisterhood.In fact, Central Park was full of familiar faces.

The race included the third-annual Women Run the World Relay & Mentorship Program, which honored 13 notable women and showcased the significant role that women play as leaders and influencers, while also highlighting the importance of supporting, inspiring, and empowering the next generation of women. Each of the 13 honorees was paired with a mentee form NYRR’s Run for the Future program, which trains New York City high school girls to run their first 5K race, build and strengthen self-confidence, and earn money toward college. Each pair ran or walked a one-mile leg of the course as part of a relay team.

Taking the top spot in today’s race was Askale Merachi of Urban Athletics, who crossed the finish in 1:15:18, nearly four minutes ahead of second-place finisher Kate Pallardy of Central Park Track Club—New Balance, who finished in 1:19:11. CPTC’s Mary Bida secured third place in 1:23:40.

First to cross the finish line is Askale Merachi of Urban Athletics Club!

OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon

For more than five decades, the 500 Festival has shown commitment and excellence by producing a month-long series of programs and events celebrating the Indianapolis 500.

In 1957, four Indianapolis businessmen got together and organized a parade and square dance gala, celebrating the Indianapolis 500. The men who set the framework for what is now one of the largest festivals in the nation are former Indianapolis Mayor Alex Clark; Joe Quinn, Safety Director for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; J. Worth Baker, Shrine Potentate in 1957 and Howard Wilcox, promotions director for the Indianapolis Star.

The parade was the 500 Festival’s first event back in 1957.More than 150,000 spectators lined the parade route. All 9,000 reserved chair seats were full. Just as today, the Boy Scouts handled seating. Indiana Power and Light had a float in that parade, and it has continued to participate in the parade ever since then.

Later that evening, over 500 people danced to Woody Herman’s Orchestra on the fifth floor of the Indiana Roof Ballroom for the Governor’s Ball.Tickets to the gala were $5 a couple. Fifty years later this event continues on under the name Snakepit Ball.

By the end of June 1957, Festival organizers met to debrief and began planning for the next year’s festival. Their mission was to create a bigger and better festival in 1958. This devotion and diligence set the spirit and speed for every 500 Festival since.

A glorious day of running the wild flower lined single track trails awaits you, all with fantastic, spectacular views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. The aid stations and volunteers are the best and are nestled among the rustic, gorgeous woods of Mt. Tamalpais. And sweeping views of the Bay and Pacific ocean cap off the experience!
Miwok 100K


The Miwok 100K was founded in 1996 by Kellie Sheehan.

That first race, held on May 6, 1996, had 69 starters and 62 finishers. Kellie directed the race for its first three years; John Medinger took over as race director from 1999, when the race had 142 starters and 125 finishers, through 2003 with 244 starters and 210 finishers.

Tia Bodington took on race director responsibilities in 2004. Since then, the race has grown from 236 starters/205 finishers to 437 starters and 358 finishers in 2014.

The Miwok 100K course has changed a number of times due to a variety of Park Service requirements. In 2012 the race start/finish was moved to Stinson Beach after the event was given notice that the Rodeo Beach dirt parking lot’s return to a natural wetlands was imminent.
