About the Shark Week Showdown 5K, 10K - Oklahoma City, OK
The race runs through Stars and Stripes Park with an ocean theme layered over it, music at the start and finish, and a mascot presence near the finish line. The vibe is more neighborhood block party than serious time trial, though the longer distances are chip-timed and have age-group awards.
Packet pickup opens early on race morning and closes a short while before the gun goes off. The start kicks off with a national anthem, and the finish area sticks around for a post-race celebration with awards. The organizer, Bigfoot Running Company, runs several events around the area and the production feels practiced.
