Bricktown Hotel is one with the OKC Memorial Marathon

The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is one of the most emotionally-charged and internationally acclaimed events held in Oklahoma City.

It may be a marathon, but its relevance exceeds more than that of a sporting event. It is an occasion to run for a cause, to celebrate oneness and a will to fight against the odds. This is the 15^th year since the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed (April 19, 1995), and the Oklahoma City National Memorial bears testimony to the tragic event. The OKC Memorial Marathon is an annual event that remembers this tragedy and holds aloft the torch of solidarity.

An interesting detail is that the 168 banners here are each named for each victim of the bombing. So come, celebrate life and experience a great social event with a sporting touch. The Bricktown Hotel & Convention Center is here to cater to your needs. It is only 1.5 miles from downtown OKC’s Bricktown entertainment district, and just the place where you can have great fun. The amenities offered by the hotel include:

• SERTA™ Mattresses in all rooms
