First Banner Goes Up on Marathon Course

April 01, 2010

Kevin Webster and Richard Berry, Cox Communications network technicians, started hanging the 168 banners of those who were killed in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building on April 19, 1995, that line the 26.2 mile course of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Cox has installed the banners for the past decade. Runners report these banners are their inspiration as they endure the course that runs from the Memorial site to Lake Hefner and back.

The Marathon is the Memorial's largest annual fundraiser and helps to maintain the 3.3 acre Memorial and Museum.
