Lake McMurtry Run is a trail running and running race on April 10, 2027 in Stillwater, OK.
Oklahoma's Oldest Trail Run!! The race was started in 1999 by Earl Blewett. Earl saw the beauty of Lake McMurtry with its gorgeous scenery, soft, beginner friendly trail system, spectacular lake views, and reputation for having some of the best trails in the state of Oklahoma for running as well as mountain biking. In 2009 Earl turned the race over to the Tatur organization and its race director Ken Childress. Ken did a fantastic job of keeping the quality, history and tradition of the Lake McMurtry Trail Race alive. Next, in 2019 the Outlaw group began directing the run and added their own flair, while keeping the tradition alive with the same great trails. The next chapter begins in 2027, when the Stillwater Trail and Road Runners begin directing the run. The 29th annual running is April 10, 2027.
