Overview
Held in Tulsa, OK, the Go Short, Go Long, Go Very Long 50K brings trail runners together in January for a fixed 50-kilometer route organized by Fleet Feet Sports.
With 32 finishers in 2026, the event sits right in the middle tier of starting lines across the distance category—bigger than 45% of 50k fields and smaller than 54% out of 2762 peers. That balance yields an uncrowded trail experience without the isolation of an empty course. Established with its first year in 2017 and having built a track record across 10 editions through 2026, it offers an accessible winter ultra option with an entry fee between US$50 and US$60.
