The 2010 Day-Ohn-Day 5k Run and 1 Mile Run/Walk will take place Saturday, May 22, at 21st and Riverside, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The USATF sanctioned race starts at 8:00am on a USATF certified course with the fun run/walk starting five minutes afterward. Prizes will be awarded to three places in the standard age brackets as well as a team award and Clydesdale and Filly divisions. Entry fees are $18 with commemorative t-shirt, and $15 without.
In addition to the standard competition, the Tulsa Indian Club is proud to announce the second annual Chief's Challenge. The contest is open to any tribal chief, chairman or governor who, in addition to entering and finishing the standard competition, is joined in the race by the greatest number of their own tribal members. The Tulsa Indian Club invites all tribal leaders to participate and set an example in promoting a healthy lifestyle for all Indian people.
If you are participating in the Chief's Challenge competition, then the name of your tribe is your "Challenge Team Name". The tribal leader and his participants each need to complete entry forms with the name of their team, pay the registration fee and participate. All other rules and fees apply.
Participants can pre-register by mailing completed entry forms and registration fees to 7715 E. 25th Place, Tulsa, OK 74129. Participants can also pre-register at Runner's World, 4329 S. Peoria Tulsa, OK (May 18th thru 22rd). Entry forms and fees can also be submitted on race day.
