Running

Fun Run (TIMED)

Fun Run does not include any stair climbing. Participants will begin on the main concourse level and complete one lap around the main concourse, and then climb to the second level using the main ramp, complete a lap around the second level, return to the main level via the same ramp, and then head to the finish. The course is equivalent to a 1 mile fun run.

Stair Climb and Run

This is the classic stair climb race. Includes trips around the main, top, and club levels of the BOK Center, plus climbs up and down the interior staircases, and one full trip around the lower arena bowl. The race is equivalent to a 5k run, but with lots of stairs.

Extreme Stair Climb and Run

This is the classic version of the course on steroids! If you like to climb stairs, this is the race for you. It will be roughly three times as long and three times as difficult as the classic race, with many more interior stairs included and will feature 2 full trips around the arena bowl. We estimate this race is equivalent to a 15k.
