Urban Adventure Race, presented by RunnersWorld Tulsa, offers an unparalleled challenge for endurance runners seeking a distinctive urban experience. This self-supported event takes participants on a rigorous tour through Tulsa's streets and sidewalks, emphasizing navigation and self-reliance rather than traditional course markings. Runners can choose from demanding distances including a marathon (26.2 miles), 50 miles, 75 miles, and the ultimate 100-mile ultra-marathon, all starting and finishing at the RunnersWorld Tulsa store. A unique aspect of the race is its reliance on local convenience stores, like QuikTrip, as primary "aid stations," requiring participants to strategically manage their own hydration and nutrition.
