Embark on a truly unique running adventure at the Oaklake Trails Naturist Park 5K, set for May 9, 2026, in the serene, wooded landscape of Depew, Oklahoma. This distinctive 5K trail run invites participants to experience the freedom of a clothing-optional environment within a welcoming, family-oriented naturist resort. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 78°F and lows around 57°F, accompanied by a 20% chance of precipitation, which historically has made for a challenging and memorable course.
The race unfolds across more than 400 acres of picturesque hickory and oak-covered hills, utilizing a portion of the resort's extensive 6.5 to 12 miles of nature trails. The course winds through varied terrain, leading past eight tranquil lakes and ponds, numerous stunning rock formations, canyons, and even a seasonal waterfall, offering a truly immersive natural setting. While the scenery is captivating, be prepared for a genuine trail running experience, as previous participants have noted that sections can be muddy and challenging, particularly after rain, with slight uphills that become a true test of grit. The trails, with their many twists and turns, may require careful attention to markings.
Beyond the challenge of the course, the Oaklake Trails Naturist Park 5K offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The race fee includes entry, a park day fee, refreshments, and a celebratory post-race buffet. Participants can also enjoy the Saturday night dance and access to the resort's full array of amenities, including pools, a hot tub, and the clubhouse. This event, known for its inclusive and non-sexualized environment, promises a memorable experience that combines the joy of running with the refreshing spirit of naturism. First-time visitors should note the resort is a gated community and requires advance notice and a background check.
