Events

1 Mile Fun Run Equivalent

Fun Run (TIMED)

Strikethrough Price: $35
Price: $25
Time: 8:00AM CST
Fun Run does not include any stair climbing. Participants will begin on the main concourse level and complete one lap around the main concourse, and then climb to the second level using the main ramp, complete a lap around the second level, return to the main level via the same ramp, and then head to the finish. The course is equivalent to a 1 mile fun run.
The Original

Stair Climb and Run

Strikethrough Price: $55
Price: $40
Time: 8:30AM CST
This is the classic stair climb race. Includes trips around the main, top, and club levels of the BOK Center, plus climbs up and down the interior staircases, and one full trip around the lower arena bowl. The race is equivalent to a 5k run, but with lots of stairs.

Extreme Stair Climb and Run

Strikethrough Price: $65
Price: $50
Time: 9:45AM CST
This is the classic version of the course on steroids! If you like to climb stairs, this is the race for you. It will be roughly three times as long and three times as difficult as the classic race, with many more interior stairs included and will feature 2 full trips around the arena bowl. We estimate this race is equivalent to a 15k.

Rucker Division - Stair Climb and Run

Strikethrough Price: $55
Price: $40
Time: 8:30AM CST
This is the same as the classic stair climb and run, only the participants carry weighted backpacks. We do not provide the weighted backpacks. Visit www.goruck.com for more details on rucking.

Where can I attach my bib?

Bibs need to be worn on the FRONT of your body with the number visible!

Do not bend the timing tag on the back on your bib.  If it is broken, the timing device will not read your bib.

Sometimes things happen and the device does not read your bib.  That is why it is important your number be visible on the front of your body!  Our timing crew has backup procedures that include writing down bib numbers as participants cross the finish line so times can still be recorded and accurate.  If your bib is not visible on the front of your body they can't write down your bib as you cross the finish line.
