OKC Land Runners Kick Off Training For Memorial Marathon

The Oklahoma City Land Runners are inviting runners of all levels to join their training program for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, set to include new race distances this year.

Mark, a club representative, encouraged newcomers to "just show up," whether for a walk, jog, or run.

"Running is meant to be a natural thing that you do when you're out of joy. You go outside into the fresh air and you just move your feet," he said, emphasizing that participants don’t need to worry about speed or mileage.

The group’s structured program offers guidance from experienced runners to prepare for the marathon, half marathon, or quarter marathon. Training runs are already underway, with the official kickoff set for this Saturday.
