Registration is now open with early bird pricing available until August 10th, so be sure to secure your spot before prices increase. Upon registration, you'll receive a race bib for timing purposes (for the 5K), an event t-shirt, and a finisher medal—a tangible reminder of your contribution to educational causes. The proceeds from this heartwarming event will directly benefit Walt Whitman Elementary School and Hawthorne Elementary School by providing essential classroom supplies and resources that enhance learning experiences. By participating in this run or simply cheering on the runners, you are playing an active role in supporting local schools and promoting healthy lifestyles within your community. Awards will be given to top male and female finishers as well as age group winners over 50 years old.

About Tulsa
Learn more about the host city, Tulsa.
Tulsa calls itself the "Oil Capital of the World." Here, the age of the oil boom found its center. A small town by US standards, metropolitan luxuries such as theater, fine dining, nightlife, and shopping are found in a state known for sparsely populated farming communities. The picturesque downtown is surrounded by rolling hills covered with prairie grasses and ancient forests, a first impression that soon reveals world-class architecture and museums of art, miles of biking and walking trails, and huge parks. With a wealth of iconic sights and neighborhoods to explore, a trip to Tulsa can easily fit several weeks of touring.
