Tyler, United States • 18-19 Oct 2025

Death by 5k Tyler is a challenging 24-hour running event held at Tyler State Park in Texas, specifically in the Blackjack camping area.

The course features dirt trails with natural obstacles like rocks, roots, and occasional mud, and is slightly longer than a standard 5k at about 3.5 miles.
