Death by 5k Tulsa

Death by 5k Tulsa is a 24-hour endurance challenge by RunStrong Events in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Runners complete ten 5-kilometer loops over a 24-hour period on a paved river trail that loops across the river twice, starting and finishing at River West 23rd Street Park. The format emphasizes mental and physical stamina, sleep deprivation, and night running, with headlamps or lights required.

Between loops, participants may sleep in cars or pitch tents on park grounds. Nourishment is provided throughout, with meals at various points and snacks, water, and sports drinks available. Finishers receive a coffin award and bragging rights; registration is capped at 300. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
