About the Running through the Decades Half Marathon - Tulsa

Running Through the Decades is a retro-themed race hosted by Bigfoot Running Company, starting on a central Tulsa street. A costume contest kicks things off before the gun, and runners are encouraged to show up in full retro gear. A live DJ spins period music throughout the morning, and the atmosphere leans heavily into the theme rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Packet pickup wraps up shortly before race time, so arriving early gives you room to get your bib, scope the start area, and enter the costume contest without rushing. Snacks and refreshments are set up at the Rally Tent after you finish, and results and awards are posted at the Registration Tent right away.

Common Questions About the Running through the Decades Half Marathon - Tulsa

Will I finish last at the Running through the Decades Half Marathon - Tulsa?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:41:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 4:03:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Running through the Decades Half Marathon - Tulsa a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (74 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 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Running through the Decades Half Marathon - Tulsa?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:00:31 while the median finisher took 2:41:43. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
