Redbud Classic Announces New Route For Sunday Race Courses

As the Redbud Classic celebrates its 40th anniversary, race organizers are rerouting Sunday race courses for the 2023 event.

The Sunday races, including the 5K and 10K, will now start and finish at Nichols Hills Plaza, right next to the Redbud Bash, the official after-party once all the races have been completed.

"We sat with you through COVID-19 trying to find ways to come together to celebrate the good things happening in and around our state," Redbud Classic Race Director Kristin Hersom said. "Now, as we bring back our community, we want to focus on how we can do so with the right mindset."

The weekend event begins on Saturday, April 15, with 10-mile and 30-mile bike tours, a 50-mile Fondo, a mile-long fun run for children and another 1-mile race for dogs.

On Sunday, April 16, there are the rerouted 5K and 10K timed runs, a 5K wheelchair and pushchair event, a 2-mile walk and 2-mile baby stroller derby.

“Our community thrives off good deeds, and the Redbud Classic wants to provide a way to continue doing so while having fun and connecting with Oklahoma City," Hersom said.
