Golden Driller Marathon
The Golden Driller Marathon is the 11th annual edition held on April 18, 2026, at Tulsa River West Festival Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The start and finish are located within three miles of downtown Tulsa and many downtown hotels.
The event offers multiple race distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
All races take place on paved trails of Tulsa's Riverparks system along the banks of the Arkansas River. The courses are USATF certified and the marathon is a Boston qualifier. Most courses are described as flat and fast; the marathon course includes one hill.
On-site parking is available at the start and finish area. Each participant receives a tech shirt and a custom finisher medal featuring the Golden Driller statue. The event is noted for a smaller field size and a friendly atmosphere, and post race food and beer are available for participants aged 21 and over.
The event is organized by Golden Driller Racing, an RRCA registered event management company that is fully insured and uses USATF certified courses where appropriate. The race name references the Golden Driller statue located at EXPO Square in Tulsa. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
