A great weekend of running for Tulsa: Great Plains 10K, Snake Run

But more importantly, what a great weekend of running for Tulsa. It sure seemed like the Great Plains 10K was a success, and TZ put on another great Snake Run. People got to enjoy the trails at Turkey Mountain, and thanks to all the runners, their efforts will help future endeavors to preserve and promote one of the city’s greatest assets.

Snake Run stuff

Thanks to all my awesome volunteers, ones who give up their day so their friends can have a good race. And congrats to all my friends who ran and had fun with us.

Julie DelCour: Turkey Mountain not out of the woods

Years later, my new home disproved that oxymoron. Tulsa actually has an urban wilderness. Turkey Mountain might not be an enchanted forest for everyone, but it is for my family and dogs, and thousands of other Tulsans. There’s a strange and wild trail mix up there on the mountain with its hikers, bikers, runners and nature enthusiasts. We once walked a hundred feet with a displaced rooster and two of his wives — chickens that had crossed the road to get to Turkey Mountain.

*note the distance from the proposed mall is a Quarter of a mile from the RiverParks property not a full mile as reported.
