Monarch Migration Run - Norman, OK

The Monarch Migration Run is an inaugural running event staged at Ruby Grant Park in Norman, Oklahoma on September 27, 2026. The event includes two distances and is presented as part of the Monarchs in the Park celebration, an educational festival about monarch butterflies and pollinator conservation.

The course uses park trails and includes monarch-themed elements along the route. Race participants receive a custom monarch-themed race medal, a custom monarch-themed bib, and a swag bag; the 5K bib includes a timing tag. Organizers describe the setting as a stopover habitat for migrating monarch butterflies and frame the run as a way to honor that seasonal journey.

This race appears as a standalone event on the Norman Race Series calendar and will not count toward the overall series awards presented at the Christmas 5K. Additional event details were noted as forthcoming.
