About the Death by 5k Tulsa
The course runs on a paved river trail, crossing the river a couple of times and returning to the same park each lap. The challenge runs through a full day and night, so you will be out there in afternoon heat, late-night dark, and early-morning stillness. Headlamps are required for the overnight portions.
The start and finish area at River West Park has grass space where participants set up tents or sleep in their cars between rounds. Hot meals come out at set points across the day and night, and snacks, water, and sports drink are available the whole time.
