The Tulsa Fire Alarm Building is a historic Art Deco building at 1010 East Eighth Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was built in 1931 and served as the central reporting station for the Tulsa Fire Department. Fires were reported from alarm boxes spread around town to this building and the firemen in this building would alert the fire station closest to the fire. At the time of its construction, this system was the best available alarm system. The building is just east of the Inner Dispersal Loop in Tulsa’s Pearl District. The 5k is completely contested on downtown Tulsa streets, while the half marathon will be a mix of downtown streets and paved Riverparks Trail.
All entrants will receive a tech shirt as well as a great finisher medal that features the Tulsa Fire Alarm building. Post race food and beer for those 21 and over will also be available.

This was one of the worst half marathons I have ever run, and I’ve run over 30 of them across different states from NY to CA. There was not one mile marker on the course, and no course marshals! I ended up taking a wrong turn which made me lose time. Several times I had to yell out to the indifferent cops where I should go next
The race also humid. The best I can say is that they served some pizza afterwards. I’d avoid this race unless you are very familiar with the course.
