Thunder Up Ultras

Taking place on May 30, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., this unique event unfolds at the heart of Oklahoma City around the Paycom Center, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder, in support of the Thunder Community Foundation. There’s no traditional race course here—just Thunder Loops. Runners will circle the Paycom Arena as many times as they choose, building their own ultra-distance experience loop by loop. Whether you’re aiming for your longest day on foot or just want to log meaningful miles with fellow fans, the distance is entirely up to you. This is a true grassroots ultra: No entry feeNo medalsNo official timing Each participant tracks their own time, distance, and number of loops, focusing on personal goals, community spirit, and the joy of running. The emphasis is on participation, perseverance, and supporting a great cause—not competition. Come solo or bring friends, wear your Thunder gear proudly, and run as long—or as far—as you want. However many loops you complete, every step helps Thunder Up the Oklahoma City running community. Run your distance. Run your way. Thunder Up. 🏀⚡🏃‍♂️Tag us on your social media!
