Group Runs from the store

At Tulsa Runner we don’t do formal training classes. We just run. We’re not the biggest group on the trail, and that is fine with us. If you want a group to run with, but you don’t want to feel like you’re in a parade on the running trail, check us out some time.

• Tuesday – “6 at 6″- that’s 6 miles at 6pm – We’re moving this run to Tuesdays in 2013, until further notice.
• Saturday – Weekly long run.  We’re on the WINTER schedule right now, so start time is 7am, usually meeting at the store, but once a month, either the first or second Saturday, we meet at Southminster Church Community Center on 35th Place in Brookside, so call or email Trani to verify the plan if you are thinking about joining us.

Ten Short Years….

Can you believe it’s been 10 years?

Neither can we!  And we want to thank all our customers and runners everywhere who keep on lacing them up and heading out the door.

THANK YOU TULSA!

Summer 5K Series

How about a 5K a month to keep your midweek runs interesting this summer?  We’re going to host an informal 5K on the River Parks Trail the LAST Tuesday of each month, May -September (5/28, 6/25, 7/30, 8/27, 9/24).  Start time will be 6pm.  We will hand time each race and call out times at the finish.  There will be a suggested donation of $2 for each race to help offset the cost of insurance and water/Gatorade.

Run it.  Race it.  Enjoy it.  Then talk about it over some refreshments at the Blue Rose Café.
