TULSA TOUGH RACE INFORMATION: On the day of the TFA Blue Dome Tour, the exciting Saint Francis Tulsa Tough bike races will be taking place in the Arts District north of the railroad tracks and the Blue Dome District. Based on the maps of closure information, TFA does not anticipate any direct conflict with the Blue Dome Tour and we are excited to proceed that day! In fact, we would encourage you to walk to the festivities following your tour.

If you are coming to downtown Tulsa from the west (Sand Springs/West Edison Street) you may consider that road closures for the bike race may either 1) cause you to wait to cross the road until a race escort permits you through or 2) you may decide to avoid closures by detouring to North Pine and South Peoria into downtown.
