Join the Joe Warfield Memorial Foundation as we celebrate the life of one of Oklahoma City's favorite runners. The Joltin' Joe 5k is family-friend, community event intended to raise awareness about distracted driving and create a movement for change. The National Safety Council reports that on a typical day, more than 700 people are injured in distracted driving crashes. Over the course of a year, 42,000 indivudals are killed on American streets. It doesn't have to be this way! Talking on a cell phone – even hands-free – or texting or programming an in-vehicle infotainment system diverts your attention away from driving. Keeping EVERYONE on the road safe is our goal. Your participation and support allows us to invest in initiatives and education to help eliminate these dangers and save lives. Thank you for running with us to make a difference just like Joe would! START TIMES: 1 MILE FUN RUN STARTS AT 1:3OPM ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2025. 5K STARTS AT 2:00PM ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2025.

You'll be running at a modest elevation of 1,220 feet, and the weather in early November typically tops out around 61°F with lows near 38°F, so bring layers you can shed as you warm up during the race.
