Runner's Results | Pictures from Oklahoma City

49 DRC members boarded a comfy motorcoach 10 am Saturday, April 26. 3 1/2 hours later, we arrived in Oklahoma City and checked into their hotel rooms pre-arranged as part of the trip. Everyone picked up their packets and browsed the Expo with plenty of time to come back together at 5:45 pm to head to the Marathon's Pasta Dinner. The group wandered the Oklahoma City National Memorial, most of whom were seeing it for the first time.
The next morning it was 50 degrees with a cold rain. Meeting up in the lobby, many of the group headed a couple blocks over to the race site to check gear, have one last potty break, and prepare for the race start. The crowd of thousands shivered in the cold as they honored the victims of the bombing 13 years ago with 168 seconds of silence.
Fast times and slow times, half and full marathon - everyone had a different experience, and that's what's so great about these races - how individual the race experience is! Many caught a shower or a bath afterwards and then, while hard to climb onto with sore muscles, everyone was thankful to board the bus and head home. Arriving home at 5:30 pm Sunday, the picture above was taken before the crowd dispersed.
Congratulations to everyone on their finish at the Oklahoma City Memorial Half and Full Marathon on April 27! Here are the finish times for those that were on the bus and ran the race. Thank you to the family and friends sweet enough to ride the bus 3 1/2 hours to cheer everyone on!
