2012 Oklahoma Red Dirt Trail Running Championships

Don — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:26:40 +0000

The Red Dirt Championships return to Lake Thunderbird on Sunday May 6th 2012. If you read the flyer you can probably tell that this race is actually a “Fatass” event and is very laid back. A perfect time for everyone to get together and have a great time. And what trail event would be complete without beer? It’s provided with a lot of other things as well. Donations for the Norman Relay for Life will be accepted in lieu of entry fees.

More details (directions, etc) of Clear Bay Trails here. And a nice map of the trail is here. We hope to see you there!
