ROUTE 66 MARATHON: What's in store for this weekend Prev Next Photo by: 2 News Oklahoma Posted 2 minutes ago TULSA, Okla. — The Williams Route 66 Marathon returns the weekend of Nov. 23 for its 19th year. There's a lot in store for runners and watchers alike. TFD vs. TPD Runners from all around will race along the Mother Road, but so will members of the City of Tulsa's police and fire departments. This competition between the two departments began last year, and perhaps this friendly rivalry could become a yearly marathon staple. Both departments have put together relay teams for the event. Last year, the TFD came out on top, a win that lit a fire in the bellies of TPD officers, who say 2024 will be their year. "We got a really good competitive team, and we're gonna bring it,” police officer Josh Metcalf told 2 News. Roy Zoellner, an assistant fire marshal, poured cold water on TPD's claim that they'll win. "We will greet them at the finish line,” he remarked. “We'll be waiting for them at the finish line, and we look forward to congratulating them on a good run." However, this spirited competition is all in good fun. As for prizes, when Metcalf and Zoellner chatted with us before last year's marathon , they figured they would wager lunch. Meanwhile, the whole marathon benefits a cause called Kicks For Kids, which gives kids sneakers. While the first racers will take off Saturday morning, they need to pick up their runner's packets starting at 11am on Friday at the Cox Business Center. If they can't pick up their packets Friday, they can do it Saturday. Click here to see the packet's contents.)
