Frank Church & Heath Boren: When running becomes community

In this episode of the Tulsa Run Podcast, host Kevin Green sits down with two runners powered by passion and community — Frank Church and Heath Boren — both proud ambassadors for the Tulsa Run.

At the time of this recording, Frank was prepping for the Pumpkin Holler 100K with a sub-12-hour goal, while also gunning for a sub-60 15K at Tulsa Run. Heath is fresh off the incredibly symbolic “Thunder Up 80” Ultra — 1 mile for every Oklahoma City Thunder win — completing 80 miles in one shot, fueled by the full force of the Oklahoma running community.

Together, they talk:

✅ Running insane distances — and bouncing back

✅ The power of running clubs & Oklahoma run culture

✅ Why community is their why

✅ What the Tulsa Run means to them and why they’re proud to represent it

✅ Their ambassador discount codes: FRANK10 and HEATH10

This episode is all soul, all community and a reminder that running is about so much more than race day. It is about who shows up with you and for you.
