Lake Murray Endurance Run
The Lake Murray Endurance Run is a trail running event held annually in late October at Lake Murray State Park near Ardmore, Oklahoma. Races start and finish at Tipps Point Campground inside the park.
The event offers multiple trail distances:
- 5 Miles
- 25K
- 50K
- 100K
- 100 Miles
Lake Murray State Park covers about 12,500 acres of forested rolling hills and contains over 30 miles of marked trail. Trails range from simple and flat to moderately difficult sections with rocks and roots. The 100 Mile course has approximately 7,200 to 7,300 feet of elevation gain.
This is a cupless race; runners must carry their own hydration device. Aid stations provide water, Gatorade, and food items and are spaced roughly 4.7 to 6.7 miles apart. The 5 Mile event does not have an aid station. Drop bags are allowed for the 100 Mile and 100K at the Start/Finish and Buzzards Roost aid station; runners are asked to keep drop bags a manageable size.
Time limits apply: the 100 Mile distance has a 32 hour limit and the 100K has a 27 hour limit. Pacers are permitted for the 100 Mile and 100K with designated exchange points at Tipps Point and Buzzards Roost; pacers must be registered in advance. Finisher awards include buckles for certain 100 Mile and 100K results and medals for the shorter distances. Lodging and camping options are available within the park and in nearby Ardmore.
