Tatur Snake Run - Three of Six Hour Trail Race Saturday March 19 - Turkey Mountain - 9am This unique race will be a six hour or three hour timed run taking place on mostly flat, rock and root free, single track trails on the western side of Turkey mountain. The run will start March 19th, 2011 at 9:00 am, and finish at either noon or 3:00 pm. The course will head northwest from the old upper parking lot following some of the trails used in the Turkey and Taturs race, then north onto the Snake Trail. These are some of the smoothest and easiest trails on the "mountain". We also have taken great pains to remove all of the larger snakes from the course. Just kidding. Actually, the snake trail gets its name because it winds around like a snake, not because of an infestation of slithery reptiles! |

Most weeks the Tatur TOT training runs have attracted 50-6 0 trail running enthusiasts, many who are newcomers to running trails. We usually break up into groups ranging from speedsters to walkers.
Most groups run anywhere from 2-8 miles. a The run leaders are very familiar with the twisting turning pathes and are able top accomodate all varying athletic ablitlites.

These would make a great XMAS gifts

These jerseys are 100% digital sublimation jerseys that are great for running, cycling, triathlons, etc. We only ordered 25 mens and 25 womens and we expect them to sell fast. They will sell for $55 to TATUR members and $60 to non-Tatur members. If you would like to reserve one, leave a $30 deposit at RunnersWorld Tulsa.

On Sunday October 17, Tatur threw a party. The occasion was twofold. One was to honor all the hardworking individuals who have volunteered and supported the many Tatur races in 2010.
The other reason to have the party was to give out the proceeds from the Turkey & Tatur's Trail Race and the TATUR Mud Run.
A check for over $3,000 was given to Andrew Albrecht from the Westside YMCA to go towards allowing underprivileged kids attend a summer camp at the scenic Westside YMCA and Camp Takatoka.
Next Tatur gave John Wintle from the Oklahoma Firefighters Burn Camp a check for over $18,000 to benefit kids who have been burned by fire and have disfiguring marks on their bodies. The money is used for a five day summer camp at Dry Gulch USA near Pryor.
Tatur thanks all the volunteers and people who help us put on these great races and allow us to give such great contributions to the many wonderful causes that we benefit.

TATUR is proud to announce that the Turkey Mountain Preservation Society has launched the new website. Check it out to stay tuned into what is happening at our beloved playground. Click here and explore around.
Wednesday January 5th - 7am - DoubleShot Coffee at 18th & Boston
Tatur is starting a new committee to help organize events, membership, fundraisers, training runs and much more. There will not be any "official" positions i.e, president, secratary, etc. Rather it will just be a group of people who want to see trail and ultra running events become more prevalant in the Tulsa area.
Anyone is welcome to attend these meeting which will be held the first Wednesday of every month at 7am. On the agenda for the December 1st meeting is:
