13th University a park Azalea Classic 5k/ 1mile kids challenge/ 1k family fun run

Finally spring is here and the 13th Annual University Park Azalea Classic 5k/1M/1k is near! The race will be on Saturday May 3rd! Lace up your shoes and go to www.azaleaclassic.com to register and more information. Come out to meet our Maryland State Delegate Alonzo Washington, the official race starter! Great post race party with a DJ, dancing, food, raffles, prizes, and tons of fun! See you there!

Proceeds from the University Park Azalea Classic benefit the kids at University Park Elementary School (UPES), helping them gain opportunities they would not otherwise have, such as through much-needed support for classrooms, teachers and the UPES library. We’re also one of the most affordable races out there — $25 for the 5k and $15 for the 1 Mile or 1K.

Our 5K is USAT&F certified. Our course features rolling hills in a quiet residential neighborhood with streets closed to traffic.
