Event Description

The Ranch Run for Kids 5K and Fun Run is a brand new addition to the 42nd Annual OCA Ranch Rodeo and was created to help spread awareness and support for Oklahoma children in need. Taking place on August 1, 2026, this event gives runners, families, and community members the opportunity to come together for a great cause while supporting the Children’s Health Foundation.

Whether you are running the 5K competitively or participating in the Fun Run with family and friends, every registration helps support Oklahoma kids and the mission behind the OCA Ranch Rodeo. As an added bonus, every participant will receive a free general admission ticket to the Friday night OCA Ranch Rodeo on August 14, 2026.

The 42nd Annual OCA Ranch Rodeo will be held August 14 to 15, 2026, at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, with performances beginning at 7:00 p.m. each night. The rodeo features 12 historic Oklahoma ranch teams competing in authentic ranch style events that showcase everyday ranch work and western heritage. For more than 28 years, the event has proudly supported the Children’s Health Foundation, raising more than $700,000 to help children across Oklahoma.

From the race course to the rodeo arena, this event is all about community, tradition, and cowboys helping kids.
