Run Norman
this season
Come run with us this fall!
Run Your City Norman is a new chapter of Run Your City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building stronger, more inclusive communities through running. Our free kids running club provides a fun, welcoming environment where children of all abilities can build confidence, develop healthy habits, and discover the joy of movement. Led by student-athletes from the University of Oklahoma, we are passionate about making running accessible to every child, regardless of their background, experience, or ability. We are excited to launch our very first season and can't wait to welcome families from across the Norman community. We hope to see you at the starting line!
