Death by 5k Tulsa

Death by 5k Tulsa is a unique 24-hour running challenge held at River West 23rd St Park, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Participants run ten 5k races spaced every 2.5 hours, starting early morning and continuing through the night, requiring headlamps or other illumination for dark segments. The course follows a paved river trail, crossing the river twice, offering a scenic yet demanding route.

Runners can rest between races by sleeping in their cars or setting up tents in designated grassy areas. The event provides prepared meals, snacks, water, and Gatorade throughout. Finishers earn a special coffin-shaped award, celebrating their endurance and mental toughness in this intense multi-race challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
