General Info

The fourth annual TATUR Midnight Madness 50 Mile Road Race is a celebration of health and fitness that will challenge runners to take their physical and mental fitness to the next level.

We invite you to come to Tulsa Oklahoma and participate in the state's premiere fifty mile race. This unique race starts at 11:59 p.m. in Tulsa's newly revamped River Parks Trail System.

The course is mostly pancake flat and fast, yet even night time temperatures in Oklahoma routinely hit 85° and can feature high humidity. The course consists of five -10.3 mile loops in alternating directions.

If you have done a marathon before, this would be a fantastic "first time" ultramarathon since the generous cut-off time of 15 hours allows an entrant to finish as long as he/she can maintain an 18 min/mile pace.

Finishers Medals

Limited Quantities

The finishers medals will definitly be unique this year.

They are hand crafted by the Wassco Medal Company here in Tulsa and designed by local ultra runner, Kathy Hoover, who has finished twelve100 mile races and will also be competing in the Midnight Madness 50 miler.

Tastefully done in two shades of blue, black and silver, they reflect the colors of a midnight run in the Heartland. We think they will make a fabulous centerpiece in your trophy cabinet. Sign up now to be guaranteed one of these collectors items as you cross the finish line.

We are very proud of these large medals and hope this will convince you to push the limits and walk/run in this amazing race.

Quit putting it off and go ahead push the button and sign up. You too will be able to say those words at the bottom of the medal.

Aid Station Update

Any quality event is only as special as the people who are involved in it. This race is no exception. The Midnight Madness 50 will have the most experienced ultra runners in the state staffing the two aid stations. OTRA (Oklahoma Trail Runners Association) members have offered to assist the entrants throughout the night at one of the aid stations. Feel free to ask their advice any time throughout the night. These wonderful men and women definitely know their stuff and will take care of you in your "time of need"

(Tatur members will staff the other aid station.)

The OTRA members boast some of the most knowledgeable ultra runners in the Midwest. OTRA has a strong reputation as being a fun, yet professional group of trail and ultra runners. If you have not run with them before, you are really missing out. They train on some fantastic trails in the Oklahoma City region and often travel elsewhere for their training runs. OTRA puts on several great events throughout the year. For more information check out their web page.
