About the Black Men's Wellness Day 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk

The course runs through Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. The park setting keeps things open and easy to navigate, and the route is accessible to runners and walkers across a wide range of paces and abilities. The race is part of a broader wellness event, so the atmosphere on course reflects that, people are there for more than just a finish time.

The surrounding event is substantial. Health screenings, a kids zone, a dedicated space for older attendees, and live entertainment are all part of the day. The wellness activities are open to participants, so there is reason to arrive early and stay after you finish running.

Common Questions About the Black Men's Wellness Day 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Black Men's Wellness Day 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 40:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:06, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Black Men's Wellness Day 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (20 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Black Men's Wellness Day 5k & 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 25:18 while the median finisher took 40:00. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
