Welcome Home 5K

Welcome Home 5K takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 14, 2026. The single format is a 5K run/walk starting at 10:00 AM, open to both runners chasing a time and walkers who prefer to cover the 3.1 miles at their own pace. The late-morning start leaves time for an unhurried arrival and warm-up.

A road 5K like this one is a good target if you are building consistency: eight weeks of three runs per week, with one slightly longer outing on the weekend, is enough to finish comfortably. Runners with a few races behind them can treat it as a PR opportunity by adding weekly strides and one tempo session. Walkers should simply aim for a steady pace and a strong finish. Since run and walk share a start, seed yourself honestly at the line so faster participants can get away cleanly.
