Event Overview
Midnight Madness Tulsa is an overnight running event offering several distances on a looped course. The main race start is just before midnight. The event includes a 5K Ultra (3.2 miles), a 10.5-mile race, a 50K (31.5 miles), and a 50-mile (52 miles) option. A 100-mile event is also offered.
Courses
The 10.5-mile, 50K, and 50-mile events follow the same looped course.
- The start and finish line is at 41st Street Plaza at Riverside.
- The route uses the Riverparks trails, going south to 71st Street, crossing the 71st Street bridge to Turkey Mountain, and continuing north on west-side trails.
- Runners will cross the Arkansas River using the Williams Crossing Pedestrian Bridge.
- The 10.5-mile race is one lap, the 50K is three laps, and the 50-mile is five laps.
The 5K Ultra course starts at 41st and Riverside, goes north to the pedestrian bridge, crosses it, turns around at the bottom of the ramp, and returns.
The 100-mile race consists of two 50-mile segments. The first 50 miles are self-supported, with runners starting at 6 AM or later to coordinate finishing before the midnight start of the second 50-mile segment, which is the official race course.
