Lake Murray Endurance Run

About the Event

The Lake Murray Endurance Run returns to Lake Murray State Park near Ardmore, Oklahoma on October 24th, offering a variety of challenging distances for runners from across the region. This year marks the third edition of the endurance event that draws participants as far as Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma City, each just about an hour-and-a-half drive away.
Lake Murray State Park is known for its expansive forested hills and sprawling trails, covering over 12,500 acres with a trail system totaling more than thirty miles. On race day morning at around sunrise, the temperature typically hovers between fifteen to twenty-six degrees Celsius (61-79 Fahrenheit), providing runners with comfortable conditions despite some humidity.
Since its inception three years ago, this endurance run has become an integral part of Oklahoma’s running community, raising funds for local youth development programs and attracting a growing number of participants each year. The event is significant not only as a sporting challenge but also as a fundraiser that supports the growth and education of young people in Ardmore.
The course venue features Lake Murray State Park's extensive trail network, which includes both flat stretches and more challenging terrains with elevation changes. Runners will encounter various landscapes within the park’s rolling hills and dense forests during their runs. The start and finish lines are set at Duke’s Forest Campground, where aid stations provide essential supplies to participants along the way.
Race day weather typically involves mild temperatures ranging from fifteen to twenty-six degrees Celsius (61-79 Fahrenheit) with an average wind speed of eleven point eight kilometers per hour and humidity levels around sixty-three percent. The trails are expected to be dry but hard underfoot, offering a stable surface for running despite the possibility of light rainfall during the day.
