BQ rate of 3.1% indicates that qualifying is not easy, so prepare strategically.

The race is held in late November, providing a potentially cooler climate that can help with hydration and exertion.
With a PR score of 98.21, Route 66 Marathon presents a rolling course that keeps runners on their toes. Expect gentle hills that can add a layer of complexity to your pacing strategy, especially if you're aiming for a Boston qualifier. The race takes place in Tulsa, a city that combines a vibrant arts scene with a rich history, offering a unique backdrop for your marathon experience.
Utilize the rolling hills to your advantage by maintaining a consistent effort rather than a strict pace. Save some energy for the last few miles, as fatigue from the hills can impact your final push toward a Boston qualifying time.
