This race is entirely on the Riverside (paved) trail system of Tulsa. The race has 4 distance options. 5K or 10K to Go Short. 25K to Go Long. And a 50K to Go Very Long!
The 5K and 10K runners do a out-and-back on the east side of the river. The course is 100% flat and on a paved road so if you are looking for a 5K or 10K PR, this is the race for you!
The 25K runners do one long loop around the Riverside trail system. It is also very flat with one hill at Turkey Mountain. It's not a terrible hill, but definitely a hill after all the miles of flat road.
The 50K runners will do the same loop as the 25K, but they will do it twice.
Parking at this race is in the neighborhood around the start of the race which is located at Blue Rose Cafe, right on the river. There is no expo because the race is put on by a local running store, Fleet Feet.The swag includes a long sleeve tech shirt with the race logo. Love it!
There are nice aid stations around the way, but there could be another bathroom or two for the longer distances. Since this is a smaller local race, there isn't a lot of crowd support. So you just have to bring your own!
The medals are a cute Dr. Seuss theme! This year the 5K and 10K runners got a medal as well, although it was smaller than the 25K and 50K which is how it should be.
If you are looking for an Ultra, I would highly recommend this one. The weather has been nice and the course is very very flat.
