For years, I've watched and cheered for runners since the route is usually close to my house on…read moreRiverside. I've always felt like I was missing out because the runners seem to have a blast dressing up in costumes. This was finally the year I signed up for it and the experience was amazing. My friend told me the Route 66 Marathon took it over this year, which is cool since their team is all local. It makes sense for them to also organize this one, sort of like a dress rehearsal for the big event. Since I haven't participated in past years, I can't share comparisons, but I was very impressed by how smoothly ran this event was. Pro tip: pay to have the bib delivered. It's so worth it. My bib arrived early in the week. I was a bit worried about the weather since it was supposed to rain but thankfully it was just a light drizzle. There are many race options: 2k, 5k, 15k and double (5+15k). Everything started on time and there were plenty of water, Gatorade stations and markers along the way. I rarely look at the route mostly because I'm directionally challenged, but this year's included a lot of hills and it went along Riverside, which I love. At the finish line, there were plenty of volunteers handing out medals, full sized chocolate bars, pizza, bananas and beer (you get 2 free drink tickets). OU's college of allied health was providing their services (stretching, manual therapy, massages, etc) at the finish line. From now on, I'll definitely do it every year!

Oh, Tulsa Run. Since you've been taken over by the Tulsa Sports Commission, you just don't seem as…read moreperfect as you used to be. Expo: Okay. Small, but not bad. Chiropractors, gyms, running stores - the usual booths at running expos. It wasn't horribly crowded, which is a plus. When I got there at 3pm Friday, there were no lines to wait in to get your bib plus this year, they gave you a reusable bag, which was really nice. The one thing I don't understand is why you need to look up your bib number before going to the expo. What happened to putting the packets in alphabetical order? Run: Eh. Decent number of water stops, but they only served water (no electrolyte?!?!). Route is boring and uncreative. Why must every race in Tulsa be on Riverside? Post race festivities: Okay, after running 9.3 miles in the heat, I would like more than a bottle of water and half a banana. What happened to the bagels and croissants like last year? Gatorade?! Powerade!? You're getting cheap, Tulsa Run. This year they also had booths that would engrave your time onto your medal for $10. There were also the usual OU PT students giving out "massages" to runners, which was nice. Medal: The medal, I will admit, is really nice..... Good quality, good size, and the middle spins!

Opened in 2008, this park is located in the deco district in downtown, between Boston & Main. It's…read moregreat to have some greenery amidst buildings, but for a long time, this space has been severely underutilized and neglected besides some annual festivals like Elote's 5 de Mayo. In 2018, the nonprofit Urban Core Art Project in partnership with OU's Urban Design Studio brought large, interactive, and temporary art installations to the park, highlighting the need for intervention. They also made recommendations to improve the park. One of those recommendations was the "Be the One" 918 sculpture in collaboration with TU's school of art. Big silver numerals 9 and 8 have a space in the middle for visitors to insert themselves as "the one". I have seen more people taking pictures, so I like this addition. None of the other recommendations have been implemented, it would be great to ask the city to revisit them. It's been great to see it leveraged in a more constant basis, like for 918 Day and the weekly downtown farmer's market on Wednesdays. I hope programming continues and it helps bring people to this part of town. I certainly enjoy it. Just wish there were more shaded areas.

It depicts an oil worker wearing a hard hat and holding a drilling derrick. It stands 76 feet tall and weighs 43,500 pounds. It captures the bold spirit and history of the region's oil boom in turn is a striking tribute to the petroleum industry. This statue is located right outside the Tulsa Expo Square. It is very easy to find. It's so tall and yellow. You can't miss it. It was rainy during our visit, but I was still able to capture some photos of the statue. I zoomed in to see the impressive scale and detailed craftsmanship of this super cool and giant landmark. Despite of the wet weather, it was still a fantastic stop for quick photos during our Route 66 Centennial Celebration road trip in the Midwest. Definitely a memorable roadside attraction for all visitors to enjoy. Thanks Golden Driller!

There are covered picnic tables, basketball and tennis courts, a playground, a splash pad and a soccer field. There are also restrooms available as well. The playground is pretty big, with four difference slides and bridges connecting them. I've been here a couple of times when there have been community events like program recruitment and fitness sessions. It works really well for this type of reunion. There's plenty of space to spread out and the set up works really well. A lot of people from the neighborhood seem to join regularly. The only reason why I don't rate it higher is because it usually needs cleaning, with lots of random trash left. The restroom walls have also been vandalized several times. Wish we'd take better care of it!
