RECAP: Annual Memorial Murph Workout 2026 | Round Rock, TX
May 28, 2026
This year’s annual Memorial Murph workout brought together athletes, veterans, first responders, friends, families, and members of the local fitness community for an unforgettable evening at OBK Fitness in Round Rock, Texas.
What started as a hot, humid Texas afternoon quickly turned into one of the most intense weather shifts we’ve ever experienced during an event. Toward the end of the workout, severe thunderstorms rolled through with torrential rain, heavy winds, and flooding across the area.
But nobody stopped. Teammates stayed beside each other. Strangers encouraged one another through the final reps and final mile. It was about finishing what we started together.
A New Location for 2026
This year marked the first time hosting the Murph at a local gym, OBK Fitness, and the new location allowed us to create a much larger community-driven experience than ever before.
The facility gave us room to expand the workout setup, improve flow for athletes, and bring together vendors and recovery partners that helped make the event memorable from start to finish.
Community Vendors & Recovery Stations
This year’s event featured several local vendors and community partners, including:
- Cold plunge recovery stations
- On-site mobility and recovery support
- A photo booth experience
- Raffle giveaways from brands including ASICS, Fleet Feet, Orange Mud, and more
These additions helped create an environment that felt bigger than just a workout. It became a place where people could challenge themselves, recover together, and spend time with others who showed up for the same reason.
Familiar Faces and New Ones
One of the best parts of this year’s Murph was seeing how much the community continues to grow.
We saw many familiar faces return from last year’s workout, along with a large number of first-time participants experiencing the event for the first time. Some came alone. Others brought entire groups. By the end of the night, everyone was moving together through the same challenge.
That’s what makes events like this matter.
More Than a Workout
The Murph has always represented something bigger than fitness.
It’s about effort when conditions aren’t ideal. It’s about accountability to the people beside you. And sometimes, it’s simply about refusing to quit when things get uncomfortable.
The storm at the end of the event only reinforced that.
Everyone could have packed it up when the rain started. But everyone finished their workout.
