About the Red Coyote Summer Sunset 5K

The course runs along Lake Hefner as the sun goes down, so the light on the water is part of the experience. The route is open to runners, walkers, and joggers, and the park setting keeps things spacious and easy to navigate.

Packet pickup runs for a couple of days in advance at the Red Coyote store in the Classen Curve, with race-evening pickup available on site for those who need it. The organizers encourage picking up early to keep things moving at the start.

Common Questions About the Red Coyote Summer Sunset 5K

Will I finish last at the Red Coyote Summer Sunset 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Red Coyote Summer Sunset 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 505 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Red Coyote Summer Sunset 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:08 while the median finisher took 36:28. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
