OKC Metro Alliance, Inc. would like to thank everyone that participated in our first annual Strides of March Race! It was a success for the recovery community and we couldn't have done it without the support of our various sponsors and runners! We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and we look forward to seeing you next year!
The Strides of March • Sunday, March 18, 2012 • 8AM
The Strides of March is a half marathon run to promote wellness and recovery. The timing of this run also presents an excellent opportunity to prepare for the Memorial Marathon which is held in April. This run benefits
OKC Metro Alliance's Firstep programs by assisting Oklahomans who want to recover from substance abuse. The race course is located in Southeast Oklahoma City along the scenic shores of Lake Stanley Draper, a city park and family recreation area.
The half marathon at Draper Lake will start and finish just outside the Marina area of Draper Lake. Runners will have the opportunity to run through the park like wooded area surrounding the lake, across the Draper Lake Dam, and back again to the Marina area. Runners and Walkers can enjoy the atmosphere of nature while participating in this race. The half marathon is a flat, out and back course.
The 5K Dogwood Dash run exemplifies the trend of more and more people who prefer to participate in a 5K distance for the good cause of wellness and recovery. The 5K is a fast course with bends and curves, beginning and ending at the marina. This 5K represents the strong and durable qualities of the Dogwood tree. Runners and walkers will love the Dogwood Dash.
For families and children the Puppy Dash will provide a fun and fit atmosphere for your child. Teach your child early about the benefits of exercise and community involvement. All children participating will receive a winners' ribbon.
