Hello Everyone,

 

First, I should apologize for the (quasi)-spam.  My name is Justin Douglas.  I grew up in the Tulsa area and still have friends and family there.  In July, I paced Marty Odom in your Midnight Madness Run.  I was very impressed with your race and would like to come back and run it myself one day.  

 

Currently I live in Lawrence, Kansas and I run with a group called the Lawrence TrailHawks (…

My favorite race is almost upon us!! Each year in March, TATUR has an event that is unique to these parts. Most races are a specified distance--a 5K, a 15K, a half or full marathon. But this race is different. In this race, your know in advance what your finishing time will be. The question is--how far can you go?… Continue

I've really enjoyed the TOTs runs on Sunday mornings lately. My friend Stormy Phillips has led this group, and his enthusiasm and encouraging have helped me so I know he has helped other folks, and the numbers in our group bear that out. …

Badwater entry application is now open.  Now's your chance.  Anyone?

The new pink trail is now marked and finished. We have had almost 100% support on this endeavor. I have counted 40 emails from people thanking us for finally marking some trails on the westside of the mountain and two emails saying that we are destroying the natural beuaty of the land.

The T-TOTs took a road trip to run some different trails. (That has an ironic ring to it....) We car-pooled and caravanned to Keystone to run some mountain bike trails there. This network of trails is 5.5 miles, if all the loops are ran continuously, although any of the loops can be skipped for a shorter total. 65-70 trail runners made the trip, and we broke up into a super-sonic fast… Continue

Who's up for some mountain climbing this weekend??



I'm heading to Mena Arkansas to run some trails over some hefty mountains. The event is the Athens/Big Fork Trail Marathon/17 Mile Fun Run. It's run on some of the most beautiful trails in the central united states, complete with multiple stream crossings.



A group of crazies are leaving Runners World at 1:30ish Friday afternoon for a weekend of fun. We'll stay at the Sun Country Inn in Mena, then do the race, eat a good… Continue

Our Tuesday night secret society of night runners had another adventure in an undisclosed location NW of Tulsa. I arrived just before dark, and took a picture of the signage. The signs would imply a non-tolerance of trespassers, but I really don't think they mind us being on the PUBLIC road to and from this secret locked gate.

Seven runners were up for the challenge…

This week, the T-TOTs took a field trip (better named a trail trip.) We went to Chandler Park and ran the trails on the land south and west of the park area. A beautiful sunrise promised a good day on the trails.



I did not get a good count but I am pretty sure we… Continue
