Escape from Turkey Mountain spots are going down! 

Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself, meet new people, and have fun! We can't wait to see you at the starting line!  Remember, we cap the event at 460 participants due to trail capacity.  If you have family or friends who might want to participate they should sign up NOW to avoid disappointment!

One of Tulsa's oldest Trail races - dating way back to 2004!  A Labor Day tradition. Two race distances to choose from - a challenging 5 mile course or the shorter and less technical 2 mile course. Both races start and finish at the lower parking lot of Turkey Mountain. All entrants will receive a race t-shirt as well as a finisher medal for each race. Post race the tradition of this event is a cookout with hamburgers and hotdogs as well as beer for those 21 and over.

Race Day Packet Pickup

Begins at 6:45 AM on Monday, September 2, 2024 at the Lower Parking Lot at Turkey Mountain (off Elwood Ave.)

Both the 5 mile and 2 mile races are expected to sell out before race day - this has been the case for the past several years.  We cap the event at 460 participants due to trail capacity.  If you have family or friends who might want to participate they should sign up NOW to avoid disappointment! https://runsignup.com/Race/OK/Tulsa/EscapefromTurkeyMountain

Start Times:  Both races will begin at 7:30 AM. NOTE:  No one will be allowed to start after 7:35 AM so do not be late!  We will use a wave start system – see below.
 
WAVE START:  We will use a three wave start for the race to ease the congestion on the trails.  You will self-select into your wave according to these anticipated race paces (keep in mind your “trail” pace will be slower than your normal “road” pace if you are new to trail running)

Wave 1:  expected pace faster than 11:30 per mile
Wave 2:  expected pace between 11:30 per mile and 14:00 per mile
Wave 3:  expected pace slower than 14:00 per mile

There will be NO water stop for the 2-mile course. For the 5-mile event, we will have at least one water stop.  

We Strongly suggest you bring your own water bottle/belt or hydration pack to carry with you during the race.  It will be HOT so be sure to hydrate!

Courses:  Final courses to be posted before race day.  We are working on new routes that incorporate a mix of newly constructed trail plus some oldies but goodies!

The courses for both races will be marked with bright colored marking tape (color to be determined). Course Marshals and signage will be at the course split at the upper parking lot where the 5 mile participants will turn right and go north while the 2 mile participants will turn left and go south.  Up until that point both races will run together.  

Age group and overall awards will be presented at the conclusion of the 5-mile and 2-mile races.
