Talk about saving some money. The Tulsa Running Club has put together a list of almost 30 of the areas finest races and has managed to get at least a $2 discount at the following races.

These races are not only USATF Sanctioned, the proceeds go to very worthwhile causes. If you were to enter all of the TRC Sanctioned races you would save over $75 for a measley $15 TRC membership fee.

Click here to see the amazing list of Tulsa's finest races.

TRC is becoming much more active in supporting and sponsoring some of Tulsa's best races. TRC promises to only back races which are high quality events that not only give the entrant a lot of "bang for their buck" but also contributes the proceeds to a worthwhile charity.

If you see an event that is sponsored by the Tulsa Running Club you can rest assured that not only is this a reputable event that adheres to the strict standards that the TRC demands, it is also an event that promises to use the proceeds for a reputable charity.

If you know of any prospective members you can honostly tell them that they cannot afford not to be a member of TRC. We hope that in the future TRC members will continue to support all the great races that TRC is backing.
