Bigfoot Running Company - Oklahoma City

Event Overview

Running through the Decades - Oklahoma City is a themed running event hosted by the Bigfoot Running Company at Wheeler Park. The 1980s Edition features a retro atmosphere with 80s music, a pre-race costume contest, and a live DJ. The event is held on a course consisting of paved trails, park paths, and some mixed surfaces such as crushed granite or dirt. As the race takes place in public park areas, participants share the space with other park users.

Race Distances

Participants can choose from several distance options:

• Half Marathon: A 13.1-mile chip-timed course.
• Quarter Marathon: A 6.55-mile chip-timed course.
• 5K Run: A 3.11-mile chip-timed race.
• 1 Mile Run: An untimed event focused on participation.
• Kids Dash: A 50-meter run for children aged 10 and under.
• Virtual Run: A 13.1-mile distance option for remote participation.

Recognition and Amenities

All participants receive a finisher medal and a race shirt. Chip-timed events, including the 5K, Quarter Marathon, and Half Marathon, offer overall and age group awards. Specific honors include Bigfoot Trophies for first-place male and female finishers and special recognition pins for the Masters category (ages 40+). Age group awards are provided for categories ranging from 10 and under to 70+. A costume contest held before the main start recognizes the best individual and group outfits. Refreshments and snacks are available at the Rally Tent following the race.
