The Oklahoma Standard is Back!
The Williams Route 66 Marathon is pleased to announce the second medal of the Oklahoma Standard Challenge series for Honor. We’ve teamed up again in 2022 with the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum to demonstrate the resiliency of Oklahomans.
The Oklahoma Standard Challenge is a joint effort between the Williams Route 66 Marathon and the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. To participate, run the marathon or half marathon in Oklahoma City in April 2022 and then the marathon or half marathon here in Tulsa in November 2022. You’ll receive a special Oklahoma Standard Challenge medal when you finish the Challenge at the Route 66 Marathon!
Over the next three years, each medal will highlight one of the three tenants of the Oklahoma Standard – Service, Honor, and Kindness. You will not want to miss out on these special collector edition medals! This year, we focus on Service. On April 19, 1995, Oklahomans united in the face of the devastating Oklahoma City bombing, showing up to serve their community in any way they could. That spirit of generosity still lives in Oklahomans today, and we call it the Oklahoma Standard. You can learn more at OklahomaStandard.com.
Ready to register for the Williams Route 66 Marathon and join the Challenge? Register for the Route 66 Marathon here! You do not need to register separately to participate in the Oklahoma Standard Challenge, but you will need to register for the OKC Memorial Marathon separately via their website.
If we have registered to run both marathons already, can we still register for the Oklahoma Standards medal?
If you’ve already registered for both, you’re in!
Thank you!
Cheryl, when I finished yesterday everyone was gone, how do I get my medal? Tina Robinson
Hi Tina,
Send us an email Support@Route66Marathon.com
Is there still a virtual option for this marathon. Unfortunately I will be out of the country for a few years.
We don’t have a virtual option planned
How do you get the medal that says you run both on top of getting the service medal?
Register and finish the OKC Marathon or Half Marathon.
Register and finish the Route 66 Marathon or Half Marathon
OKC will have a tent at our finish line to deliver the Oklahoma Standard medals
I ran the OKC Memorial half- marathon today, and registered for the Route 66 half today. What will I need to do to get the OK standard medal?
Finish the marathon or half marathon in our race. OKC will have a tent setup at our post race party with the Oklahoma Standard Medals
What if I missed the tent at the OKC marathon party? Have I missed my chance to get my OK standard medal?
I also missed the tent at the OKC marathon. I ran the half marathon. I am also running the half marathon at Route 66. Will I be able to get the OK standard medal?
I got married this past summer and my name is different now since I ran the okc half in april…. Will that affect me getting my Oklahoma standard medal?
You should be fine it will be under your name, date of birth and city. Message us if you have any issues!
