We are going to crown a King and Queen of the Mother Road!

Basically, the man and woman with the lowest cumulative time after running all three editions of the Mother Road 100 will be crowned the King and Queen of the Mother Road. There are currently 38 entries that qualify (having completed the first two editions). So, here is how it stands right now:

For the title of King, John Shepard is in first place (with a total time of 38:34:38), Richard Smith is 0:34:11 behind him and Rene Villalobos is 1:07:21 behind.

For the title of Queen, ,Juli Aistars is leading (with a total time of 46:29:10) with Lynne Werner 0:15:23 back and Janis Anderson in third but only 0:24:15 back.

All 6 of these individuals are registered for edition 3 so we have a race within the race. Of course, anything can happen, so the rest of you two timers should not lose heart.

We also have a great award for each person who completes all three editions (Mav really put his thinking cap on for this one), so it is shaping up to be a great close out to what has been a very fun series.

Registration for the Mother Road 100 has reached the half-way mark! With 4 months and 11 days remaining till the race, 125 people have committed to this folly.

The registration list is up to date. We have added race start times and some additional travel info to the faq page. we are training hard and hope you are too, and we continue to work on the details that will make the Mother Road a great experience for you!

Well, it is officially summer in Oklahoma. Temps are 90 everyday already and with lows in the mid 70’s it is hard to escape the heat when running. Hard to imagine that we will probably be cold when we run the Mother Road 100.3!

The registration list is updated. Sorry for the delay in getting that done.

We are working on details for the aid stations and the start and finish plan. Things are looking good. If you have any ideas or suggestions, just email us.

If you are looking for a tune-up race in Oklahoma prior to the Mother Road 100.3 (and even if you’re not) you might consider a race being put on by our friends the TATURs in Tulsa on July 2.

The TATURs are a great bunch of individuals who love to run and love to run with other people. If you have run the Mother Road with us before you may remember Brian Hoover and his crew as the completely over-the-top aid station around the 78 mile mark in both races.

The TATURs put on great races and you will certainly have a great time running with them. So check out The Inaugural TATUR Midnight Madness 50 Mile Road Race.

Well, many of you know that I (t3) am very involved in the OKC Memorial Marathon. So, we have been a little busy getting ready for that event (April 25).

We are also planning and preparing for the 3rd Mother Road. I am sorry that the updates are a little slow in coming. However, the registration page is current. Email us if you have questions and we will keep you posted on the plans for the event!

In the mean time, if you are looking for a marathon to run, I would love to run with you at the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon.

Sorry about the delay in getting the registration page updated. Things got really busy around here and I just didn’t get to the updates. Everything is up to date as of this morning. So far we have 74 registered.

In other news….we are continuing to work on the arrangements for start and finish areas, the route, and all the aid stations. We are really excited about this course.

Hope the running is good where you are!

Well, we have 66 people signed up for the Mother Road 100. That is still a ways away from the 250 limit, but for those of us who share a connection with the Mother Road, an important number never the less.

Thanks to those who have made the commitment so far. We are really excited about the new folks that are coming and about seeing people again. These things turn into mini reunions of a sort. Meanwhile, we are working on maps, details, sponsors and swag. You will not be disappointed!

Hope the weather has allowed you to get out and run and that you are healthy and happy in this new year.

48 intrepid individuals committed to run the Mother Road once registration opened on New Year’s eve. You can view the stats of where they are coming from, the gender split and see a list of those who are dancing (complete with a record of who participated in the first two MR100’s) on the registration page.

There is additional info in the course maps section and the results from the previous two races are under history.

Check the rules and the faq for info about the race and we will let you know when we update those pages.
