Lawton's annual Spirit of Survival is back this October, and you can now register for one of Lawton's best community events! Spirit of Survival is one of my favorite Lawton events to be a part of because it demonstrates the community coming together to support cancer research in southwest Oklahoma.

This year, Spirit of Survival will feature multiple events for cycling and running on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4. The annual event serves as a fundraiser for the Cancer Centers of Southwest Oklahoma.

Registration is open for the 2026 Spirit of Survival.
