Competitive runners
School, club, and corporate teams
Parents, athletes, and fitness lovers
This race highlights the spirit behind our event name: push with hustle, lead with heart.

❤️ Sweetheart 1-Mile Fun Run
Perfect for families, kids, couples, and anyone who wants to be part of the celebration without running the full 5K.
Come dressed in Valentine’s Day colors, bring a friend, or run solo — it’s all about joy, connection, and community.
⚽ Field Challenge Zone (Post-Race)
Run by the OEFC boys, this interactive zone features soccer-inspired skill stations and challenges for kids and families. Stay after your race to:
Test your speed

Go head-to-head in fun mini-challenges
A great way to keep the energy high and make the morning memorable.
🍔 Food Trucks • Music • Merch • Community
We’ll have food trucks, music, and event merch available on-site, plus plenty of space to gather, connect, and cheer on runners.
🎯 Why We Run
Funds raised will help cover player travel for Manchester, reimburse existing trip costs, and support their path to playoffs. Your participation directly helps these boys represent Oklahoma at the highest levels of youth soccer.
