“It’s a huge impact on the city,” said Race Executive Director Destiny Green. “We have more than an $8 and a half million impact and it’s great for the community and the health and fitness of Tulsans.”
Green says last year’s virtual version of the race wasn’t quite the same, so people are ready to race again as a group.
“Running is such a social sport, so doing the virtual race, it lacked a little bit in that sense, but we made the most of it and we all ran together virtually,” she said. “It’s so good to have a homecoming and run on the streets together.”
The marathon is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, but Green says it’s beloved nationwide as a course.
