About the Golden Driller Marathon

Golden Driller Racing stages this independent Tulsa marathon with a friendly, lower-key atmosphere. It is a separate spring event from the city's much larger Route 66 Marathon in November.

Course

The full remains on paved river-trail corridors, limiting road crossings and keeping the setting close to the Arkansas River. A certified layout and modest elevation changes make even pacing realistic.

Race-day weather

April in Tulsa may be cool and calm at the start or turn warm, windy and stormy. The exposed river corridor can magnify gusts, so runners should plan effort by conditions rather than goal pace alone.
