    In our unforgettable season finale, we’re honoring the finishers and the 25-year legacy of the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. Join us as we celebrate our inspiring winners: Al Maeder and Ashley Carreon blaze to Marathon victories, while Half Marathoners Chris Floyd and Kylee Reed leave it all on the course. Quarter Marathon champs Ryan Schoppe and Madalyn Harper shine, 5K stars Austin McNair and Elliott Coleman sprint to the finish, and Ken Lee fulfills his goal of completing the 5K after a life-changing health journey.

    We also hear from senior marathoners David “Papa” Morgan and “Sunny” Ellen Morgan, wheelchair winner Steve Scalzo, and our youngest star, Kids Marathon finisher Cade Cowan all the way from the Oklahoma panhandle. Olympic medalist Deena Kastor and First Women's Olympic Marathon Winner Joan Benoit Samuelson reflect on the spirit of this #RUNtoREMEMBER, while Board of Trustees leaders Dr. Susan Chambers and Chris Fleming (who ran the Marathon himself) share what this anniversary milestone means for the future.

    Whether you walked, ran, wheeled, volunteered, or cheered—this episode is for you. 25 years later, this race is still so much more than running!
