Overview

This event will have a cap of 200 runners so sign up early.

The Outlaw group loves featuring our state parks!! Our newest trail run is the Greater Roadrunner Trail Run at Roman Nose State Park. Roman Nose, named after a Cheyenne chief, is one of Oklahoma’s original seven state parks. It is located just outside of Watonga (just 75 miles from Oklahoma City) in the more northwest part of the state with all that the panhandle landscape offers (or doesn’t offer—very few trees). The run will feature a 4 mile distance as well as a 6 mile loop that can be done twice for a 12 mile option. The trails are mildly technical, mountain bike style single track that winds and meanders over a rugged landscape amongst rock gardens, cactus, and cedar trees along with visual highlights of a mesa known as Inspiration Point overlooking Lake Watonga and the canyon.

Race times

The 4 miler and Challenge start at 7am, the 6 miler starts at 8am, and the 12 miler starts at 9:30am.

Coyote Challenge

For those wanting a longer distance, the coyote challenge consists of tackling all three distances: the 4 mile, 6 mile, and the 12 mile for a total of 22 miles!! Those completing the challenge will receive a medal as well as a special award. Podium awards will also be given for the lowest cumulative time.

If you finish a distance and the next distance has already started, simply start the next race. Back of the pack runners can complete the challenge as well.

Outlaw Trail Series

Complete all 6 trail runs in the Outlaw Trail Series (Outlaw, Lake McMurtry, Greater Roadrunner Trail Run, Flower Moon, Dark and Dirty, and Thunderbird) in a calendar year and receive a cool plaque to recognize your achievement. Distance is not a factor (in other words, you can run the 5K or the 135mile). Virtual options do exist that allow runners to complete the series even if they are unable to attend an event in person. An Oklahoma-shaped plaque with hooks looks great as a display to hang awesome medals

Virtual Run

Lake McMurtry Ultras

Time: 7:00 am - 7:00 am
Location: 36.169769, -97.187778
Running

Overview

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. The Outlaw group began directing the run in 2019 who added their own flair, while keeping the tradition alive with the same great trails and entertaining aid stations.

Outlaw Trail Series

Complete all 6 trail runs in the Outlaw Trail Series (Outlaw, Lake McMurtry, Greater Roadrunner Trail Run, Flower Moon, Dark and Dirty, and Thunderbird) in a calendar year and receive a cool plaque to recognize your achievement. Distance is not a factor (in other words, you can run the 5K or the 135mile). Virtual options do exist that allow runners to complete the series even if they are unable to attend an event in person. An Oklahoma-shaped plaque with hooks looks great as a display for awesome medals.

Course Description

A variety of distances to choose from with offerings of 100K, 50K, 25K, 12K and 5K on single track, winding through the pines and along the shores of Lake McMurtry. This is a moderately difficult course, great for beginners and seasoned trail runners alike. The courses consist of a loop on the west side of the lake with the longer races utilizing an out and back to the east side of the lake as well. The 50K has about 2,600 feet of gain. The 100K comprises the 50K course twice. Please message us for gpx files.
