Tyler Azalea Run Race Information

<h2><span style="background-color:rgb( 255 , 255 , 255 )"><strong>Run Where the Flowers Bloom! </strong>&#x1f338;</span></h2> <p>Since 1984, the Tyler Azalea Run has invited runners to lace up and race through a living postcard — the iconic Tyler Azalea Trails. With scenic 10K and 5K routes winding through a kaleidoscope of blooms, it’s no wonder runners return year after year to kick off their spring season in style.</p> <p>Tyler’s love affair with azaleas began in 1929, when Maurice Shamburger planted the first vibrant bushes along Lindsey Lane. Neighbors caught the fever, and by 1960, the blooms were so beloved that official tour routes were mapped to guide the growing number of admirers. Today, more than 100,000 visitors flock to Tyler each spring to witness this floral phenomenon.</p> <p>And what better way to experience it than on foot? Whether you&#39;re chasing a PR or a peaceful jog among petals, the Azalea Run is a celebration of beauty, community, and giving back — with proceeds supporting local nonprofit The Children’s Village.</p> <p>Join us in keeping this colorful tradition alive — one step, one bloom, one big-hearted cause at a time.</p>
