5k Run Virtual Walk

Red Coyote’s Starter Pack 5K Program will begin on January 12th and is designed to help you train for the Lucky Coyote 5K on March 15th but can be used to train for any spring 5K. All abilities 18 and older are welcome! Whether you're a runner/walker attempting your first 5K or you're shooting for a new PR, there's a place for you. In our Red Coyote program, we think sharing the training journey with friends working to achieve a common goal is the best part and makes every run more fun. This program is designed for people who have never run before or who have not run recently. We'll help you achieve your goal safely by a gradual and strategic increase in your training mileage. We start with very gentle workouts combining walking and running and give your body plenty of time to adapt to running over the 9 weeks of the program as we build to the goal of running a 5K/3.1 mile distance. We give instruction on proper hydration, nutrition, injury prevention, running form, training principles, as

well as other areas to help you have a successful race! Always wanted to be a runner, but not sure how or where to start? Red Coyote has trained over 3,500 participants to run their first 5K! We have the experience and the knowledge to help you reach your goals! All participants will receive schedules through email but most communication will go through Red Coyote's private Facebook group that is exclusive to this program. To help stay accountable, virtual participants or those who miss a run/walk can post their workouts to the Facebook group page.

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

A 9 week program building toward that 5K/3.1 mile goal!

Complimentary entry into the Lucky Coyote 5K on March 15th!

A technical Red Coyote Starter Pack training program shirt!

A Checklist Card to unlock some special savings!

Registration and Cost

Our 9 week program is $65 this season! This includes a technical training shirt ($30 value) and entry into the Lucky Coyote 5K ($35 value) on March 15th. Shirts will be ordered and printed once registration closes January 26th and will be distributed about midway through the training cycle. The welcome email, training handbook and link to the Facebook page will be sent out in late December a couple weeks prior to the start of training.

    Be a part of history in a twilight track meet starring the best high school, collegiate, and elite runners in Oklahoma and beyond! Like last year's race, we'll hold races for all ages and abilities, with the night culminating in star-studded high school and elite fields attempting to break state records and legendary barriers. As always, we'll have plenty of heats, dozens of pacers, and the perfect environment to crush your personal best. The race will be free to spectators, and we'll have vendors and music to enjoy between and during the night's races!

    Mile Night registrations and donations help support the Simon Greiner Program, which helps OKC public school students succeed in life and reach their full potential by creating new and expanded opportunities to participate and excel in cross country and track & field.

    Order of events:

    • be bold. Running Elementary 800m - Two laps (half a mile) around the track for the little ones, with medals for all finishers courtesy of be bold. Running!

    • Arnold & Smith Law Middle School Mile

    • Scissortail Running Open Mile - Running veterans and novices alike take a turn to test their four-lap speed

    • OK Runner High School Mile - Join the hundreds of high schoolers who have set PRs at Mile Night

    • Simon Greiner Elite Mile* - The fastest one-mile race ever to be run on Oklahoma soil!

    BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR - We will reserve one slot in the men's and women's elite fields so the fastest Oklahoma high schooler can compete alongside the best of the best!

    We ask that all high schoolers still register only for the high school races. We will have target times for each heat based on the seeded entries, and pacers for as many heats as possible. After registration closes, the top high school boys' and girls' seed time from Oklahoma will be notified and moved to the elite field.

    The Elite standards are 4:10 for men and 4:50 for women. All runners who do not meet the standards should register for the Open race. If there is still room in the elite fields after registration closes, we will reach out to the top seeds in the Open field about bumping you to the elite races.

    Get ready to run for something bigger than the finish line at the 2026 Thunder Up Ultras—a community-powered ultrarunning event celebrating endurance, unity, and Thunder pride. Taking place on May 30, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., this unique event unfolds at the heart of Oklahoma City around the Paycom Center, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, in support of the Thunder Community Foundation.

    There’s no traditional race course here—just Thunder Loops. Runners will circle the Paycom Arena as many times as they choose, building their own ultra-distance experience loop by loop. Whether you’re aiming for your longest day on foot or just want to log meaningful miles with fellow fans, the distance is entirely up to you.

    This is a true grassroots ultra:

    • No entry fee

    • No medals

    • No official timing

    Each participant tracks their own time, distance, and number of loops, focusing on personal goals, community spirit, and the joy of running. The emphasis is on participation, perseverance, and supporting a great cause—not competition.

    Come solo or bring friends, wear your Thunder gear proudly, and run as long—or as far—as you want. However many loops you complete, every step helps Thunder Up the Oklahoma City running community.

    Run your distance. Run your way. Thunder Up. 🏀⚡🏃‍♂️
