USATF certified course #OK-11041-DG.

The course is on residential streets and consists of a couple of hills, otherwise fairly flat. The start and finish are near the north entrance of Fuqua Park, 14th and Ash Streets of Duncan, OK.

Fuqua Park is adjacent to Hwy 81 between Beech and Oak Avenue. The packet pick-up and race day registration will be at the Rock Island 905 Railroad Museum which is the yellow building at the south-end of the park just off Oak Avenue. There is a steam locomotive beside the museum so it is easy to find. NOTE: When traveling southbound on HWY 81, a left-hand turn is not allowed at the traffic signal at Oak Avenue. Use Beech and drive around the park to get to the museum.

Tech shirt will be the shirt that is included with 5k registration if pre-register for the 5k no later than June 10. After June 10, there is no guarantee of an event shirt but if there is a shirt it will be a cotton tee. Volunteers can sign up by using the online registration link and click on the VOLUNTEER tab.
