The website continues to say that the major cycling event delivers the full cycling experience for everyone, whether they are training toddlers to elite racers.
It was announced days later by officials on Facebook that Saint Francis Tulsa Tough would continue as scheduled this year, writing:
In consideration of the last few days and the unspeakable tragedy at Saint Francis Health System, we talked about how to proceed with this year’s event...if we even should. We also know that Tulsa needs community now more than ever. Please read our thoughts from the words of Executive Director Malcolm McCollam on our blog.
We hope you will be a part of this community, either as a spectator, rider or volunteer. There is still time to sign up for Fondos. Online registration closes Sunday and in-person registration runs through Friday.
This isn't the first time Saint Francis Tulsa Tough considered whether to cancel or not. In 2020, the event had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down large gatherings and events for safety.
