Escape from Turkey Mountain

Tulsa, United States • 1 Sep 2025

Escape from Turkey Mountain is a long-standing trail running event held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Park. Scheduled for Labor Day, this race offers two distances: a challenging 5-mile course and a shorter, less technical 2-mile course. Both races start and finish at the park's lower parking lot, surrounded by over 300 acres of rugged terrain and native trees.

The event features a three-wave start to reduce trail congestion and includes a post-race cookout with food and beer for adults. It is the final race in the annual "Turkey Triple" series, encouraging year-round trail running. Participants receive a race t-shirt and finisher medal.
