OKC Memorial Marathon Training Restart

Training resumes

June 13, 2020 to October 4, 2020

New Training -

Training Schedule -

As you have no doubt heard by now, the OKC Memorial Marathon made the decision to postpone their marathon until October 4 due to public health concerns involving the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19). Many other races and marathons are also being canceled or postponed. The CDC and the City of OKC have also both advised that events with more than 50 people not be held for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we are suspending our spring marathon training. We are tentatively targeting mid-June to begin training again but this is a fluid situation. We will continue to carefully monitor events related to COVID-19 – stay tuned to our social media and email for updates and additional information.

We know runners are going to run and we encourage you to continue on your own or in small groups as there is compelling evidence that moderate exercise keeps you healthy. Use your own judgment (and personal/family situation) whether you are comfortable running with others or prefer to run alone. You can also use this time to recover from any nagging injuries you may have and focus on strengthening your core.

Continue to follow preventative measures EVEN IF YOU FEEL WELL as recommended by the CDC:

- Practice physical distancing of at least 6 feet;

- Practice hand hygiene, including frequent hand washing, use of hand sanitizer, and avoiding touching eyes, nose, and mouth;

- Practice respiratory etiquette, including covering cough and sneezes with a tissue, and then disposing of the tissue in the trash;

- Clean frequently touched surface and objects daily (including tablets and cell phones); and

- Perform vigilant self-monitoring; stay home if feeling unwell, developing a cough, or running a fever. Seek medical care if you develop these symptoms.

Visit CDC.gov and Health.ok.gov for additional information about preventive measures and latest developments.

We encourage you to stay connected with your fellow Landrunners on our social media - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. There is a Community Section to our Facebook page we encourage you to use. Remember to use the tag #landrunners.

We will continue to carefully monitor events related to COVID-19 as local and national developments emerge – stay close to our social media and email for updates and additional information.  Hope to see you all June 13, 2020.

We look forward to seeing you there! As always, our training is FREE and open to the public. We are now cup free - water and sport drink about every 3 miles but you supply your own hydrapouch, bottle or cup.  (hydrapouches will be available for $5 each before each run). We welcome new and veteran runners alike. Be sure to sign up for the weekly emails which will provide training tips, safety issues and last minute updates/changes to our training schedule.
