Equalizer 5K

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

TRC’s Equalizer 5K 2025

Tulsa Running Club is renewing its Equalizer 5K — a challenge among the ages.

⏰ Race Format

The Equalizer 5K is an atypical race, leveling the entire field with staggered start times based on every age/gender group’s 5K state record!

• Start Times: Each age/gender group has its own start time in reverse order.
• Example: Males ages 85-over would start first at 7:30 a.m. (state 5K record is 35:24).
• Followed By: Females ages 85-over start 2 minutes, 26 seconds later (state 5K record 32:58).
• Last Wave: Males ages 20-39 start at 7:51:38 a.m. (13:46 state 5K record).

🏅 Finishing and Awards

The Equalizer 5K pits young and not-as-young against each other to recognize the best runners of any age and gender, so the first 10 individuals across the finish line will receive finisher flags!

• Timing: We will have a running clock, but the event isn’t electronically timed.
• Finish Order: Finish order is what we will record.
• Age/Gender Groups: We won’t know the first group to start until all registrations are in.
• Corral Arrival: Please be at your designated group corral 5 minutes before your start time.

💧 Course Details

The complete list of start times will be posted at the race. Be ready! Many groups are only seconds apart.

• Water Station: We’ll have a water station at about the halfway point of the race.
• Registration Fee: Pre-race day registration is $25.
• Packet Pickup: Details for packet pickup are TBD.
• Entrant Bonus: Entrants will receive a cool TRC logo rally towel.

📅 Registration Information

Race-day registration is $30 and race day packet pick up opens at 6:45 a.m., closing at 7:15 a.m. The first wave will begin at 7:30 a.m.
