Famous Oklahoman, Will Rogers, said that if you don’t like the weather in Oklahoma, wait 5 minutes! It could be cool and damp, it could be warm and dry, and it will likely be windy.

The race will go on regardless of precipitation. The race will only be delayed or cancelled if weather conditions present imminent danger to participants.

The 5k and Mission Mile routes will start and finish along Park Place behind Fassler Hall. Located Here

The Mission Mile Fun Run starts at 1:30 PM, and the 5k starts at 2 PM.

As with all races, parking will be a challenge. Some street parking is available. Please do not park in the lot of a business that is open on Sunday. Parking in the lot of a closed business will be at your own risk. Watch for no parking signs. Brown’s Bakery does not allow any parking in their lot other than for customers. We encourage you to carpool with friends and use Uber or Lyft.

At least 30 minutes to an hour in advance to allow yourself plenty of time to park and walk to the start line.

See the course map under Registration. Best views are from the corners of the streets in the residential areas. We encourage you to wear your green gear and cheer loudly! Please do not step into the street or cross the route during the race.

Until 3:00 PM, which gives the 5k participants a full hour to complete the course. Our Lucky Leprechaun sweeper will bring up the rear. Anyone who does not keep up with the hour pace will be picked up and driven to the finish line area.

There is! The water will be at approximately the half-way point on the 5K course, near Wilson Elementary.

NO PETS are allowed on the Run Lucky course, and we strongly discourage the use of headphones. If you are planning to run or walk with a stroller, we ask that you line up at the back at the start line.

All participants in 5k race will receive a finishers medal. The participants of the Mission Mile fun run will receive dog tags.

The awards ceremony will begin around 3 PM.

Awards are presented to the male and female overall 5k winners at the Finish Line in a brief awards ceremony.  Age group awards will be three deep to male and female finishers in the standard 5 year divisions. Youth age groups begin at 12 and under. Oldest age group is 75 and over.

We give out two awards for teams – one for the team that raises the most money for our beneficiary and one for the team with the most team members. To be fair and equitable to all teams, registrations that are complimentary or a benefit of a sponsorship package are not counted towards team totals.

We give out two awards during the costume contest – one for the winner of the children’s contest (13 years and younger), and one for the winner of the adult’s contest.

The beneficiary for Run Lucky is The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). All proceeds from Run Lucky are donated to LLS to support their mission: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
