If you live in Oklahoma and are looking for other trail running or ultrarunning junkies, there are two local thriving clubs. (If there are more, please let me know.)
- TATURS (Tulsa Area Trail & Ultra Runners)
- Oklahoma Trail Runners Association
TATURS
TATURS appears to be a very active running club based in the Tulsa area.
The club is seeing lots of growth as nearly 40 runners showed up for a recent training run. Gotta love that!
The club also puts on nearly a race a month throughout the year with formats ranging from trail running, time-based events, guess your time runs, mud runs, and an adventure race.
One of their crazy events to welcome in the new year is the Polar Bear Plunge. Be sure to check out the slideshow highlighting the rather chilling adventure run.
A few other neat club features:
- Pics and profiles of club members.
- Monthly newsletter
- Weekly club run.
- Facebook Page

Oklahoma Trail Runners Association

The OTRA Facebook page explains the club as:

I’ll have to look up TATURS when I get around to visiting family out in Tulsa one of these years…
Blaine – They seem like a very active group. You shouldn’t have trouble hooking up with one of their weekly club runs.
