About the '89er 5K

The start and finish line sits at Honor Park in downtown Guthrie, across from the Oklahoma Publishing Museum. The route runs through a city with deep Land Run history, and the race theme leans into that story. The whole thing happens alongside the annual '89er Day parade and celebration, so the streets are alive well before and after the gun goes off.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the JROTC building behind Guthrie High School, with morning pickup available at the start area. Worth knowing: Harrison Avenue is closed at Division Street on race day, so parking means turning onto Vilas and heading toward the side streets west of there. Food trucks and a carnival are part of the day, so plan to stay a while.

Common Questions About the '89er 5K

Will I finish last at the '89er 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the '89er 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (167 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the '89er 5K?

The 5K winner ran 19:33 while the median finisher took 32:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
