The Tulsa Triathlon starts and finishes at Birch Lake in Twin Peaks Cove. Birch Lake is 45 miles north of Tulsa and 25 miles south of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. All events include an open-water swim with a beach start. The transition area is located in paved parking lot. The bike course is on paved roads and the run is a combination of pavement and packed gravel. Aid stations are on the course and near the transition area to help keep your hydration and nourishment in check. The finish line includes food, drinks, music, shade and plenty of chances to cheer for the other participants.
In 2016 TAT member Jonathan Cook ventured out on a pre-ride of the Tulsa Half bike course and wrote a great review on Facebook. We have published it here for your convenience: Bike Course Review

The Tulsa Triathlon provides many opportunities for friends and family to watch you perform. Birch Lake has a great swim beach near the start line. The transition area in the parking lot is a great place to watch and cheer participants as they transition from one segment to another. The finish line is not far from the transition area and a great place to see all the competitors in action.
Spectators are asked to stay off the course to reduce traffic. Spectators are not allowed to provide any aid or assistance to participants during the race. Pacers are not allowed on the course at any time. Outside support will result in automatic disqualification. More cowbell is always welcome.
Our races are manned by the best volunteers in the area. Most are triathletes, runners, swimmers or bicyclists.
Tulsa Triathlon wouldn't be possible without the help of great volunteers. Sign up for a shift at our VolunteerSignup website. Don't worry if you are new to the volunteer scene. You'll be working alongside and learning from the best of the best.
