Barkley Book Fair
Tulsa OK
Two Options, One Big Turkey Mountain Adventure. Similar to an adventure race but you find paperback books along the trails. To prove that you found all the books you have to rip out the page number that corresponds to your bib #. The 4-6 mile day run starts at or around 6:30pm. This what we call the "Fun Run" The night run will start once it is food and dark andis much more treacherous. You WILL get lost. We restrict this adventure to experienced trail runners & TATUR MEMBERS ONLY!! You will get a very crude map, some vague instructions and be forced to pair up with at least one person who knows the mountain. It will take anywhere from 2-5 hours to finish. THERE WILL BE SOME SURPRISES !!!
