Run for the Fleet. Build for the Future.Join us as we celebrate two remarkable ships that proudly carry Oklahoma's name—the USS Oklahoma (SSN-802) and USS Tulsa (LCS-16). 

In Tulsa, we may be landlocked, but our future is tied to the sea. The Tulsa Navy League invites you to a family friendly event where every stride supports the men and women serving on our namesake ships and the local students and veterans who will engineer the future.

Every step you take honors the brave men and women who serve our nation while helping the Navy League of the United States continue its mission of supporting our Sea Services, promoting patriotism, and inspiring the next generation through youth programs and community outreach. Whether you're chasing a personal record or enjoying a fun run with family and friends, your participation makes a lasting impact.

We aren’t just running for a medal—we’re running to bridge the gap between our community, our veterans, and the high-tech world of the modern Navy and Maritime Industry.

Why We Run: Two Pillars of Impact

Your registration fees and donations go toward two critical initiatives:

[1] Supporting Our Sailors (USS Oklahoma & USS Tulsa)
We provide "Home Port" support for the crews of USS Oklahoma (SSN-802) and USS Tulsa (LCS-16). From morale-boosting programs to family support, we ensure that while they protect our interests abroad, they feel the gratitude of Tulsa right here at home.

[2] Empowering the Next Generation (STEM & SeaPerch)
We help fund local youth programs like SeaPerch, an innovative underwater robotics challenge. By providing kits and mentorship, we’re giving Tulsa’s kids a head start in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Raising Awareness: Networking & Careers

The Tulsa Navy League is more than an organization; it’s a growing network. This event serves as a platform to highlight the vital opportunities available within our community:

• A Lifeline for Veterans: Discover the Navy League as a valuable networking hub. Whether you’ve recently transitioned or have been out for years, we strive to connect veterans with local leaders and peers who understand the value of military service.
• A Gateway to STEM Careers: The Navy and the maritime industry are the frontiers of global innovation. We’re here to showcase the incredible career paths available in engineering, cybersecurity, and advanced technology—both in uniform and across the private sector.

"The strength of our Navy—and our nation—depends on the bridge we build between our citizens, our veterans, and the innovators of tomorrow."

Take the Watch

Whether you’re a competitive runner, a proud veteran, or a supporter of local education, your presence makes an impact. Join us as we run for those at sea and those reaching for the stars.
