Experience the thrill of urban exploration and endurance with the RunnersWorld Tulsa Urban Adventure Race! This 11th annual event invites runners to traverse through Tulsa's iconic landmarks on an exciting, self-guided tour. Whether you're up for a marathon or ready to take on the ultimate challenge of completing 100 miles, this race offers distances tailored to every level. The adventure begins at RunnersWorld Tulsa (3920 S. Peoria) on Saturday, September 26th, 2026, starting promptly at 7:00 a.m., with the finish line also located there by Sunday evening at 5:00 p.m. The race course features a scenic yet challenging layout that showcases Tulsa’s vibrant cityscape and its diverse neighborhoods. Runners will encounter a loop route of approximately 25 miles, complemented by an additional out-and-back segment for those tackling the marathon distance. Each lap can be completed individually to achieve various milestones: one lap equals a full marathon, two laps bring you to 50 miles, three laps total 75 miles, and four laps complete the grueling 100-mile journey. The terrain is mostly flat with gentle rolling sections, ensuring runners enjoy smooth pavement on sidewalks for most of their route. However, participants must navigate through areas where traffic can be heavy, adding an element of urban adventure to the race experience. This requires careful attention and strategic planning as you progress towards your finish line. Support along the way comes in the form of aid stations located at Quik Trip stores approximately every 2-3 miles, equipped with essentials like food and beverages. Additionally, RunnersWorld Tulsa will provide water, sports drinks, snacks, and basic amenities for runners who stop by during their journey. For those venturing into longer distances, pacers are highly recommended after the first lap to enhance safety and navigation through unfamiliar areas at night or in low-light conditions. Upon completion of any distance, participants receive a finisher's medal celebrating their achievement. Whether you're pushing your limits on 100 miles or simply enjoying the urban sights during a marathon, this race offers an unparalleled blend of challenge and scenic beauty that Tulsa has to offer. The RunnersWorld Tulsa Urban Adventure Race is more than just a run; it’s an exploration into what makes Tulsa unique. Join us for an unforgettable experience where every step reveals new aspects of your city's charm.

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.
