Route statusCurrent community course trace cross-checked against the published route. Route (not trip) 'Route 66 Marathon Course', Tulsa OK, 43,180 m (26.83 mi drawn; race-day GPS trips of this course read 42.5-43.5 km), 1,749 trackpoints. JSON loads without login at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49029281.json. Created 2024-11-11, updated 2025-12-01. Matches official 2026 poster map exactly: first point 36.1472,-95.9878 (10th St near Boston/Main start), last point 36.1599,-95.9924 (E Cameron St at Guthrie Green finish), and geometry passes all 2026-map landmarks - University of Tulsa loop (4th Pl/8th St), 15th St east segments, 41st St/Peoria south turn, Riverside Dr / RiverParks East Bank Trail, 3rd St return.

The route line uses the best published course trace available. Public-domain USGS and USDA aerial photography plus USGS 3DEP elevation are baked into RunRace USA, so the flyover makes no paid map API or third-party runtime requests. Buildings, roads, parks and water use OpenStreetMap, ODbL. This is photographic terrain with modeled architecture, not photogrammetry. Bridge approaches, elevations and facade details are approximations; the organizer's published route remains the reference.
