... Read moreTulsa, Oklahoma, is truly a hidden gem along the iconic Route 66, often called the "Main Street of America." Visiting Tulsa offers a unique blend of rich history, vibrant culture, and modern attractions that appeal to travelers and locals alike. When exploring Tulsa, one can appreciate how the city has preserved its historic roots while embracing growth and innovation. Route 66 runs through Tulsa, making it an essential spot for anyone interested in the nostalgia and Americana associated with this legendary highway. From classic diners to vintage neon signs, the atmosphere evokes a sense of stepping back in time. Apart from Route 66 landmarks, Tulsa boasts art deco architecture, numerous museums, and a lively music scene, particularly known for its contributions to jazz and blues. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the city's parks and the nearby Arkansas River, which offers trails and scenic views. "Wait for it....." suggests anticipation of something exciting or noteworthy, and in Tulsa, that could refer to any number of cultural events, seasonal festivals, or food experiences that await visitors. Personally, I've found that taking time to explore local neighborhoods, chatting with residents, and trying regional cuisine enriches the travel experience. Overall, Tulsa combines historical significance, cultural depth, and southern hospitality, making it a rewarding destination along the Route 66 corridor.

5.2 miles; 50:38; 9:45 pace So my first initial thoughts: the atmosphere here was so awesome! Not only was the weather nearly perfect (the wind was fighting some of us during our legs but whatever) but everyone there was having so much fun, it made the race go by so fast. I ran leg 4/5, and got to
