The Murphy Half Marathon, 10K and 5K start at Tom Kimbrough Stadium in Murphy, Texas and feature beautiful views of southern Collin County.
Explore some of the best trails and views in Collin County. All three courses are USATF certified and feature beautiful views of Murphy and Parker, Texas. The 5K run/walk is a scenic out-and-back course from the venue. The 10K and Half Marathon course takes runners along the streets of Murphy and through the peaceful country scenery of Parker. Runners will pass by the iconic Southfork Ranch, the setting for the 1980’s television show, Dallas. All race participants (including 5K and 10K finishers) receive a 4-inch finisher medal and a gender-specific tech t-shirt while supplies last. Half Marathoners receive a custom 13.1 Kyle Miles charm to attach to the Finisher medal. Definitely a cause and race swag worth running for!
All proceeds from this event benefit the Kyle Kucauskas Education Foundation, a non-profit foundation that is dedicated to the development of future leaders in our next generation of law enforcement. In memory of Aaron ‘Kyle’ Kucauskas, a Murphy Police Sergeant who died in March 2013, the educational foundation provides educational assistance to students pursuing careers in the fields of law enforcement and/or criminal justice.

There were no aid stations sine the race was run virtually. The race is recommended to others to stay in shape. The most unique aspect of the course was that it went by the beach. The race could be improved with more runners.
