The 2026 Route 66 Marathon is a rolling urban tour of historic Route 66 through Tulsa, starting and finishing downtown near Guthrie Green in the Tulsa Arts District. It features the optional Center of the Universe Detour, is USATF-certified, and is a Boston qualifier.

Why attend here

Tulsa's November air is crisp and cool, ideal for a long run through neighborhoods that double as an open-air Art Deco museum. After you cross the finish line, refuel with a hearty plate of Oklahoma-style barbecue and catch the sunset along the Arkansas River, where the city's historic charm lingers in the soft autumn light.

Course

The course tours historic neighborhoods — Maple Ridge, Cherry Street, Brookside — passes the University of Tulsa, and runs long stretches along Riverside Drive and the Arkansas River before returning downtown. Tulsa has one of the largest concentrations of Art Deco architecture in the United States, so the urban miles double as an architecture tour.
