'A great cause to run for:' Women's Half Marathon runner reflects on win

Kylee Reed crossed the finish line as the winner of the 2025 Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon women's division, completing the 13.1-mile course in just under 90 minutes.

The Marathon, recognized as one of the 12 “must-run” marathons in the country, remains a tribute to the enduring spirit of Oklahoma City and the resilience of those impacted by the 1995 tragedy.

Starting at the Oklahoma City Memorial and Museum, the course led runners through downtown, Bricktown, past the State Capitol, into northeast Oklahoma City, and through some of the area’s most historic neighborhoods. Crowds of spectators lined the route, cheering loudly for every participant.

Reed clocked an overall time of 84 minutes and 42 seconds, crossing the finish line at Scissortail Park during the Finish Line Festival.
