The Seventh Annual Five State Run that was held in Guymon on Saturday, May 9 saw a large number of bikes and riders this year. There were 960 total bikes with 1286 different riders that participated.
"The turnout was great this year and it has increased every year we have had this event. The weather was better this year as well, as we were told several times by those that participated as well. There wasn't very much wind and it was nice and sunny. It turned out to be a great day," said Nancy Davis of the Iron Thunder.

The Oldest Rider was awarded to Ivan Nance from Stinnett, Texas who won with 85 years of age. According to him this is his fourth year to receive this plaque.
