Oklahoma Trail Runners Association

This is an exciting time for OTRA, with so many new people getting involved with Trail running. We are so happy you are here!

As we’ve mentioned a few times, we are laid back club with no formal meetings or bored (board) meetings. But we do like to get our shoes dirty in the trails. Please join us for our monthly club runs which are usually the 3rd Saturday of the month. However, there are so many members now that we get together almost every week! Previously we’ve rotated our monthly runs between Bluff Creek, Draper and Arcadia. We thought we’d try something different this year. We’d like for club members to volunteer to head up a monthly run. In doing so they will be responsible for choosing that month’s trail. You are certainly welcome to choose the old standbys, but you can also be a bit adventurous! You can even go so far as to give it a theme, or ask others to bring food for a parking lot social or suggest a stop at the local coffee house (can you say “we like to eat”?) If you’d like to “Claim a month”, just touch bases with Katherine and we’ll get you signed up.

Here’s how we’re looking so far:

Directions:

We meet at the Multi-use trailhead near the Lake project office. To get to the Project Office, go 3 miles east of I-35 on 2nd Street (also Highway 66 East). Take the third entrance marked “Project Office”. The gravel parking lot on the left of the road or you can drive down to the office and park in the paved lot. Restrooms, a phone, and water are available right there at the project office. The trailhead has an honor box for payment ($3) right at the trailhead or pay at one of the guard shacks when you ride by.
