Event weekend features a Health & Fitness Expo at the Oklahoma City Convention Center, a Finish Line Festival in Scissortail Park with music and food trucks, and extended public access to the Memorial Museum (free admission with a race bib or registration confirmation). The weekend program also includes speaker sessions, yoga and Pilates classes, community panels, and opportunities for photos and commemorative finisher items. A dedicated event app provides an interactive course map, hydration station and mile marker locations, personalized scheduling, real‑time runner tracking, and push notifications.
