Title: Tulsa Bull Run
Post by: Townsend on June 01, 2012, 09:56:34 AM
The 1st Annual Tulsa Bull Run.  http://tulsabullrun.com/ (http://tulsabullrun.com/)  June 12th after Tulsa Tough Weekend.

It takes place outside Oneok Field and goes into the Brady Arts District.

Sponsored by Tulsa Now, The Drillers, and Green Country Roller Girls.

You can get a packet for $10 which includes a game ticket that night for the Drillers, a red sash, special discounts for places in the Brady District and a patch.

Here are pics from NOLA bull run:

It blew up quickly in New Orleans and Colorado.  This is a really cool thing for Tulsa and could be huge.

I don't think Hornsby is "equipped" like that bull is, or are those udders.

I'm told It's still being built and will be ready soon.  I'm assuming Admin will be on here soon to regale us with amazing tales of signing up.

Thanks to whoever hand delivered my tickets. I hope that I'm not the only one running...though that might be funny.

If it takes in more than it costs, then TulsaNow will get the proceeds.

If it costs more than it takes in, then only my therapist makes any money.

More than likely it will break even.

Don't forget to sign up for the 1st Annual Tulsa Bull Run on Tuesday the 12th.  tulsabullrun.com (http://tulsabullrun.com)

For $10 you get a ticket to the Driller's game, a Giant red sash for fashion and to fit in with the coolness, a commemorative patch and you get discounts at many Brady district businesses when you show up in the White and red sash.

There are two runs, neither are horrible.  The first is before the game and the second is after the game that runs into the Brady District.  You'll be chased by roller derby girls with horns and whackin' sticks.

Roller derby girls are scary enough without the horns and whackin' sticks. This should be fun!

Bump.  Come run with us tomorrow.

In my case, limp and complain about your age with me.  The roller girls will womp us good.  Then we get beers and baseball. 

Then we get beers and basketball in Brady.

Roller Girls will be at the field for the whole game and Driller's staff will be wearing sashes.

Danger: possibility of Roller Girl conga line.

Tonight!!  First run just before the game.  Second run at 9:30 into Brady.

Now if you had orange jail flip flops that would be perfect.

For an inaugural run set up in a short time, pretty well in my opinion.

We had to decide things on the fly but it turned out very popular with the kids.  They enjoyed being chased by the roller girls.

By the way, if you run down Brady at night and look back at chicks on skates with horns (backlit by the Oneok lights) coming after you?  Scary as pancakes.

We got a lot of ideas to build it for next year.

Well good job and continued success. This is the sort of effort that needs to be appreciated and, for would-be participants, taken advantage of. I saw a pic of RM running on FB. Quite frankly, if I were to look over a shoulder and seen that running after me, I would be praying to be in Pamplona.  ;D

The roller girls beat me repeatedly. I either gots to run faster or enjoy the beating a little less.
