OKLAHOMA CITY TRAIL RUNNING FESTIVAL

What Is a Trail Running Festival?

• One Day Event: Trail Running Festival is a one day trail running celebration bringing a few distances to some of the most iconic cities trail systems in the country - around a 5K, 10K, 25K, and 50K, all on the same course network, all on the same day.
• Nature-Focused: This isn’t a road race with a cone and a finish line. Every course is trail-built - natural terrain, elevation, dirt underfoot, and conditions that change by city.
• Real Trail Experience: Whether you’re running your first trail 5K or tackling a 50K, you’re out there on real trail, in a real race, surrounded by a community that showed up to do the same thing you did.
• Participation Options: Pick your distance. Toe the line. Run or Hike it.

What You Earn:

• Participant Rewards: All participants receive a Trail Running Festival Soft T-Shirt and Finisher Medal.
• 50K Medal: 50K Finishers will earn a 50K Trail Running Festival Finisher Medal.
• Ruck Participants: Ruck Finishers earn a Trail Running Festival RUCK Patch.
• Race Awards: Top male and female with the fastest times of each distance win a 1st Place award. Last place of the 50K earns the DFL "Dead Freakin' Last" award.

Frequently Asked Questions:
