Course & Travel Notes
On race morning in mid-November, expect mild conditions with typical highs around 62°F and lows near 39°F, so layering is recommended, and there's only a 16% chance of rain but it's worth monitoring the forecast. The 8:00 AM start will occur just before sunrise at 7:05 AM, so bring a headlamp or reflective gear for the early minutes. Oklahoma City sits at 1,201 feet elevation, which is moderate and shouldn't pose significant adjustment challenges. Fly into OKC Will Rogers World Airport, located just 11.6 miles from the venue.
