About the Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5k

The course runs along Spring Creek Trail, an out-and-back on a mostly flat, paved path. It is a fast route if you are chasing a personal record, and strollers are out there too. The race honors an Oklahoma County Deputy killed in the line of duty, and that weight is present without being heavy.

Packet pickup the evening before is at an Orange Theory Fitness location, with race-morning pickup available at the start. Parking is at Regent Bank Center on the interstate frontage road, with some overflow at nearby businesses. Plan to arrive with time to find a spot.

Common Questions About the Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5k

Will I finish last at the Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:48, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:07, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 231 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 Sgt. Bobby Swartz Memorial 5k?

The 5K winner ran 16:14 while the median finisher took 40:48. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
