Memorial Marathon Receives Best Of Award

August 17, 2011

The Oklahoma Gazette has named the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon its 2011 Best Charity Event. Five finalists in dozens of categories are nominated by and voted for by Gazette readers. Tens of thousands of votes are cast by mail and online each year.

The Gazette’s annual Best of OKC Awards issue says about the Marathon, “To run for the community, for the family members and survivors of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing and for the Memorial — that is the purpose of this annual marathon. The run has raised more than $3 million in its 11 years. Thomas Hill and Chet Collier founded the race, which this year boasted nearly 25,000 runners and walkers from 49 states and six countries.”
