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, testing endurance through physical fatigue, sleep deprivation, and night running, requiring headlamps or other illumination. The course follows a paved river trail, crossing the river twice.

Between runs, runners can rest in their cars or set up tents in spacious grassy areas. The event provides prepared meals, snacks, water, and Gatorade throughout. Finishers earn a special coffin-shaped award and event swag.

Registration is limited to 300 runners, emphasizing a challenging yet supportive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
