Will Rogers Memorial 5k and Fun Run/Walk

Will Rogers Memorial 5k and Fun Run/Walk is held in Claremore, Oklahoma, on October 31, 2026. The morning opens with a one-mile fun run and walk at 8:00 a.m., followed by the timed 5K, 3.1 miles, at 8:30 a.m. The event supports the Rogers County Conservation District, and you can take part either in person or virtually if the date does not work for you.

Back-to-back starts make this an easy family morning: the mile is short enough for children or first-timers, and adults can walk it as a warm-up before racing the 5K half an hour later. If the 5K is your target, the work that matters is one weekly session of short, hard repetitions plus a longer easy run, and six weeks of that is plenty. Doing the mile first means you reach the second start line already loose, so keep it conversational.
