Route 66 Marathon

THE 2026 WILLIAMS ROUTE 66 MARATHON MEDALS ARE HERE. 🎉

And for the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road, we couldn't exactly play it safe.

This year's medals celebrate a pretty big moment: 100 years of Route 66 and one very special weekend of running the Mother Road right here in Tulsa.

And there's more to them than you can see here. 👀

🏅 The medals are freestanding — because this one deserves a spot on the shelf.

🎉 The Marathon and Half Marathon medals feature confetti that actually shakes and moves inside the medal.

✨ The Marathon Relay, 5K and Fun Run & Walk carry the confetti celebration through their designs, bringing the full collection together.

Whether you're taking on the 5K, Fun Run & Walk, Half Marathon, Marathon Relay or Marathon, there's a piece of the Mother Road waiting for you at the finish line.

And if 26.2 just isn't quite enough? Take the Center of the Universe Detour and turn your marathon into the World's Shortest Ultra at 26.5 miles.

100 years of the Mother Road.
One very special year to run it.

Which one are you earning? 👀

Registration prices increase Saturday, September 5. Now's a pretty good time to make it official.

💙 Important First Mile Update

This isn't the update we hoped to share.

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the outdoor venue for today's First Mile event is no longer usable. We were made aware of this challenge late yesterday evening and immediately began exploring every possible option. Ultimately, we realized we couldn't safely deliver the experience our participants, sponsors, volunteers, and community deserve on such short notice—and that simply isn't who we are.

First Mile has always been more than a group run. It's the unofficial start of training season—a chance to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new running friends, and take those first miles together before celebrating at the finish line this fall.

We're incredibly disappointed, and we know many of you are too. Thank you for your understanding, your grace, and your continued support of the Williams Route 66 Marathon and TTCU Tulsa Run.

We'll see you this fall. ❤️

Home of the free. Land of the Mother Road 🇺🇸

From small towns to big cities, there’s something special about lacing up your shoes and exploring America one mile at a time. And there’s no road more iconic than Route 66.

Wishing everyone a safe, happy Fourth of July filled with good company, great memories, and maybe a few miles along the way.

Happy Independence Day!

🚨 FIRST MILE UPDATE 🚨

Due to unforeseen construction-related issues at the event location, we’ve made the decision to postpone First Mile.

We’re already working on a new date and will share it as soon as it’s confirmed.

Thank you for your patience—we can’t wait to kick off training season with you soon! 💙

Training season starts now-ish.
