Tulsa Tough will get going this afternoon with the Blue Dome Criterium.  The start and finish line is on 3rd Street just east of Elgin Avenue.

There are four races Friday evening with an award ceremonies to follow.  Then a fireworks display will round out the night during the men's race.  Those races will all be in Tulsa's Blue Dome District.

On Saturday, Tulsa Tough takes over Tulsa's Arts District surrounding Guthrie Green.
