Spring Fling - Oklahoma City

Spring Fling - Oklahoma City is held on April 11, 2027 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A kids dash goes at 7:55 a.m., and the 1-mile run, the 5K (3.1 miles) and the 10K (6.2 miles) all start together at 8:00 a.m.

The one-mile option deserves more attention than it usually gets. It is short enough that anyone can finish it and hard enough to be genuinely informative — a well-run mile gives you a sharper read on your current speed than a 5K does, and you recover from it in a day. The 10K sits at the other end: 6.2 miles at a controlled effort is a proper endurance test and works well as a checkpoint if a half marathon is on your calendar later in the year. Whichever you pick, warm up before 8:00, not during the first half-mile.
