Teen hopes to run down under with TATUR’s help
Ponca City High School Junior Lance Gray hopes to be running down under in Australia this summer. He has been invited to participate in Track and Field at the Down Under International Games and plans to compete in the 400, 800, long jump and relays with other Oklahoma athletes. Lance has to raise $4700 to pay his way to Australia and that is where the Taturs (tatur.org) hope to help out.
The Tulsa Area Trail and Ultra Runners (TATURs) are sponsoring the 2nd annual 6Hr. snake run to be held at Turkey Mountain in Tulsa on March 21 starting at 9:00am. You can check out the run at the Taturs website www.taturs.org . The event is to be run on some of the easier trails of Turkey Mountain and the winner of the event is the participant that runs the farthest, last years winner Michael Adams turned in an impressive 41 miles. Runners do 4 mile loops and run as far or as short as they want and it is a great introduction to trail running.
In conjunction with the event several Taturs will actually begin their run on Friday afternoon at 3:00pm and will finish with everyone else 24 hours later. Ponca City Tatur Bill Ford and Lance are teaming up to raise money by taking pledges for miles turned in by Ford during that 24 hour period. The TATUR group headed by RunnerWorld Tulsa owners Brian and Kathy Hoover and 6hr snake run race director Ken “Trail Zombie” Childress have embraced the idea and been very supportive of helping Lance Gray as he raises money toward his goal.
If you would like to make a pledge for miles run by Tatur Ford or would like to make a donation to Lance please contact Lance at ilove_sports2010@yahoo.com or Ford at oklaultrarunner@gmail.com .

Over 100 TATURS Spread XMAS Cheer at the TATUR XMAS Party
The place was jumping on Friday December 12th. Dan Threlkeld's beautiful Sand Spring's home was the site of the Third Annual TATUR Xmas Party.
The amount of food could have easlily fed the Salvation Army, or at least Ken Childress. We laughed, told lies, made promises we knew we would never keep, dreamed up New Years Resolutions that were unattainable and just had a great time.
We gave out several awards to deserving TATURS and am sure we left some other deserving Taturs high and dry. TATUR also presented the Westside YMCA with a check from the proceeds of the Turkey & Tatur Race.
Much more detailed info can be found on the infamous Trail Zombies Blog which details most of the TATUR events.
