From the Race Organizer
TRC’s Equalizer 5K 2026 Once again Tulsa Running Club is running its Equalizer 5K — a challenge among the ages. This race will be held at Mohawk Park Shelter #3, 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 won’t know the first age/gender group to start the race until all registrations are in, which will include race-day signups. We ask that you be at your designated group corral 5 minutes before your start time. The complete list of start times will be posted at the race. Be ready! Many groups are only seconds apart. We’ll have a water station at about the halfway point of the race. Tulsa Running Club members will have a half-off discount applied at checkout. Pre-race day registration will be $25 until June 30, 2026. PRICE INCREASE July 1, 2026, to $35. Entrants will receive cool TRC logo running crew socks . Packet Pickup Packet pickup will be held at REI, 6939 S. Elwood Ave, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74132 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM on July 16 and July 17, 2026 . Race-day registration is $35 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.
