The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon races are just around the corner, and before they begin, participants and guests are encouraged to visit the Health and Fitness Expo at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. This expo, which opens at 11 a.m. on Friday, is a must-see for runners looking to prepare for the big day.
At the expo, runners will have the opportunity to pick up packets containing important information and meet with organizations supporting the Run to Remember event. Red Coyote founder Jon Beck, who runs two health and fitness stores in the city, describes this weekend as the “Super Bowl” for his company, as it gets increasingly busier throughout the weekend. Many visitors come to the expo seeking inspiration and knowledge to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Upon arriving at the expo, runners can find the packet pickup station and line up according to their bib number. After presenting a valid form of ID and bib number, runners will receive their packet and can then proceed to the “In Honor Of” bib station to dedicate their race. Inside the packet, runners will find a bib, commemorative t-shirt, race towel, event guide, and course maps.
It is important for runners participating in the 5K, Senior Marathon, and Kids Marathon to pick up their packets at
