Spring Fling - Tulsa

Spring Fling - Tulsa is held on April 10, 2027 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The morning opens with a kids dash at 7:55 a.m., followed at 8:00 a.m. by three simultaneous starts: a 1-mile run, a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles).

Three distances off one gun makes this an easy race to enter with friends who are not all at the same level. If you are newer to racing, the mile or the 5K gives you a complete experience in well under an hour; if you have been running consistently through the winter, the 10K is the format that will actually tell you something about your endurance. For the 10K, the useful preparation is one weekly tempo run of twenty to thirty minutes at a comfortably hard effort, plus a long run of an hour or more. Start conservatively — the shared gun makes it tempting to chase the mile runners.
