    Why It's BQ-Friendly

    Rolling hills throughout the course create varied pacing opportunities and challenges.

    About This Race

    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.

    Race Strategy

    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.
