First run in 1978 with just over 1,000 participants, the Tulsa Run has grown into a rite of fall for the city. Over 150,000 finishers have crossed the 15K line, cementing its place as a signature event. The race offers multiple distances (15K, 5K, 2K), drawing families and serious runners alike.

The course winds through Tulsa's streets, with downtown landmarks and community support along the way. Finishers celebrate with post-race festivities, though specifics vary year to year.
The event's longevity and loyal following speak to its quality, from packet pickup at the familiar VFW Post 577 to the finish line buzz. Whether you're chasing a PR or enjoying a family outing, the Tulsa Run delivers a classic race experience.
