About the Red Day Run

The course runs a couple of laps through downtown Edmond, staying on flat pavement the whole way. It starts and finishes at the corner of Broadway and Campbell, so you are in the middle of things throughout, with storefronts and streets around you rather than a park or trail.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at the Keller Williams offices on Campbell, with race-morning pickup available at the start if you need it. The organizers suggest going early to keep things moving.

Finish-Time Stats

Common Questions About the Red Day Run

Will I finish last at the Red Day Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:48, 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 Day Run a good first 5K?

A field of 349 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Red Day Run?

The 5K winner ran 16:57 while the median finisher took 34:07. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
