    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.

    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.

    🐾 Announcing the 4th Annual Poppy Love 5K – “In Memory of Poppy” 🐾

    We are excited to invite you to the 4th Annual Poppy Love 5K, a heartfelt event created in honor of a beloved pup named Poppy. This race began as a way for Poppy’s devoted owner to give back after her puppy survived Parvo with the help of a veterinary assistance program. Since then, it’s grown into a powerful fundraiser supporting local rescues that help animals in need.

    In February 2025, sweet Poppy crossed the rainbow bridge, but her legacy lives on through this special event. 💖 Each step you take helps continue her mission—providing financial assistance to Oklahoma-based rescues and saving lives.

    Event Options:

    Timed 5K

    1-Mile Walk

    Virtual 5K

    And yes—your dogs are welcome to join the fun! 🐶

    📦 Register by May 15, 2026, to receive a race t-shirt and swag bag!

    Registrations after May 16 or on race day will not include a runner’s bag or t-shirt.

    Let’s celebrate Poppy’s memory and help more pets get a second chance at life. 🐕❤️

    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. 🏀⚡🏃‍♂️
