This year marks the 20th anniversary of the first Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon – a 26.2-mile race to commemorate those lost on April 19, 1995. This year’s marathon will also include a 13.1-mile cycling option for those seeking alternative ways to participate. Unlike previous marathons, this event will be exclusively virtual due to pandemic health concerns.
