Thousands of Marathoners Expected For Route 66 Run Throughout Weekend
TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- The Route 66 marathon is projected to draw nearly 7,000 runners for its marathon and half-marathon courses.
Shorter races were run on Saturday but the longer courses are on the card for Sunday.
Organizers say about 2,250 runners will run the full 26-mile marathon, with about 4,500 in the half-marathon.
The Tulsa World reports that the number of entrants has tripled since the Route 66 marathon was first run seven years ago. For all five races that comprise the weekend, more than 10,000 people have signed up. Organizers want to attract 20,000 runners by 2016.
The long courses on Sunday will take runners on a tour of Tulsa, including historic areas.
Temperatures are forecast to be in the 40s Sunday morning

Okla. grand jury returns new charges on ex-judge
May 23, 2013 23:32 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury has returned new indictments against a former Lincoln County judge who already faces embezzlement and cattle theft charges.
The grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday against 47-year-old Craig S. Key of Chandler.
Key turned himself in last month to Lincoln County authorities who set bond at $10,000.
One indictment accuses Key of harboring a fugitive by allegedly encouraging a client facing criminal charges in Lincoln and Jefferson counties to flee the state to avoid prosecution.
Another charges Key with five counts of delivery of a forged note and accuses him of forging the name of a woman whose signature was required on escrow account checks that Key was also required to sign.
Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, says the additional indictments are no surprise.
