The Bar Nothin' Marathon
(Certification Code OK-10023-DG)

The uniquely beautiful Marathon point-to-point course begins at the historic Turner Falls Overlook in the Arbuckle Mountains.  Rolling hills wind downhill, intercepting the Half Marathon course beginning at the Murray Co./Carter Co. line. The courses continue downhill together through the scenic countryside of the foothills until the Marathoners turn east for an out-and-back leg through the award-winning Bar Nothin’ Horse Ranch near Springer. Marathoners return to Hwy 77 to re-join the Half Marathoners for the straight stretch into Ardmore, enjoying an overall elevation drop of 538 ft. over the first 15.5 miles of the course. A shallow elevation climb begins at mile 16 and continues until runners turn west at mile 20 for a final out-and-back to the lake inside beautiful Ardmore Regional Park.  Save a little energy during the downhill early on 'cause the gently rolling terrain in the park will feel like mountains at that point in the race.  However, your efforts will be richly rewarded as you finish to the cheers of fans at the 50 yard-line inside nearby Noble Stadium.
