TULSA, Okla. - The first ever Human Hamster Ball Run in Tulsa kicked out early Saturday morning. Neither rain nor sleet could hold back the eager runners. The goal for the team of five was to push a 9 foot tall ball across a mile and a half.
Organizer Arthur Greeno wanted to set a Guinness World Record for the number of balls pushed in one day. But the event is also raising funds for five local charities. Five hundreds people have signed up so far but more are needed.
The event is going on all day Saturday October 6th at Corporate Woods in east Tulsa that's on the corner of 41st and South 129th Street.
