TRC’s Equalizer 5K 2026 Once again Tulsa Running Club is running its Equalizer 5K — a challenge among the ages. This year the race will be held at Mohawk Park, Shelter #3, 4301 Creek Dr, Tulsa, OK 74115. 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! Each age/gender group has its own start time in reverse order. For example, males ages 85-over would start first at 7:30 a.m. (state 5K record is 35:24), followed 2 minutes, 26 seconds later by females ages 85-over (state 5K record 32:58). And so on, so forth until males ages 20-39 would start last at 7:51:38 a.m. (13:46 state 5K record). 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! We will have a running clock, but the event isn’t electronically timed as finish order is what we will record. We wo
