Mike's review of 2023 Route 66 Marathon.   

4 / 5 Stars

Review

The expo was nicer than many these days, especially after COVID, and the light jacket instead of a shirt was a nice bonus, but seemed a bit of a downgrade compared to what their website showed for last year's race gear.

The course is hilly, especially at the beginning and the end and I did not give in sufficient respect for that in preparation. Crowd support was limited, but it was drizzling all day long, so that's to be expected.

The finish line seemed a bit disorganized and haphazard, again perhaps in part because of the weather. I finished around 100 overall and they were already asking people to take water OR Gatorade, not both, for fear of running out.


Race Tips

Respect the hills and don't go out too fast, because more are coming, when you want to see them least.

Katie's review of 2023 Route 66 Marathon.   

4 / 5 Stars

Review

Tulsa put on a wonderful event, truly. Police presence was amazing and the expo, swag, organization, energy, course - it was all super impressive. I'd totally run it again (we had a VRBO on the course, so I got to see my friends and family 4 times without them ever leaving the front porch. :) However (and this is a big however): it is hilly. And I train in hills because I live in hilly Texas. I underestimated the toll it would take - the first 9 miles are hilly and the last 3-4 are as well. I PRed by 5 minutes but had trained and planned to run at least five-seven minutes faster than that. The hills are no joke.

Wer's review of 2022 Route 66 Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

Easy access to corrals and great volunteers. Well run race. Great embroidered zip up instead of a tshirt- classy.


Race Tips

Expect cold and rolling hills. Lots of water stations and cheer zones.


Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

Many hotels right by start- you can leave 15 minutes before start if it's cold.


Anonymous's review of 2021 Route 66 Marathon.   

3 / 5 Stars

Review

Route 66 has always been a hometown favorite but this year, maybe due to COVID it did not live up to the hype it's always been given. Very disappointed overall. The lack of volunteers, runners and community support unfortunately ruined the race experience this year.


Race Tips

This is a hilly course that runs through some beautiful neighborhoods in Tulsa and alongside the Arkansas river and through the University of Tulsa campus.

RRT's review of 2017 Route 66 Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

Love the way the city gets behind the runners. Different neighborhoods have music, drinks (even a few shots :) ) It is just a fun race.


Race Tips

The 2nd half of the race is the toughest. At mile 14 or so.... for almost two miles is a gradual uphill run. I have ran this one twice and that area kills me every time.
