¡Únete a la comunidad de University Park, MD, el sábado 2 de mayo de 2026, para un día de diversión y fitness para toda la familia! ¡El Azalea Classic tiene una carrera para todos! Elige entre nuestra carrera de 5 km sancionada por USATF, nuestro Desafío de 1 milla o nuestra Carrera Familiar de 1 km. El evento es organizado por la Asociación de Padres y Maestros de la Escuela Primaria de University Park (UPES). Todos los ingresos benefician los programas de la escuela. El evento se llevará a cabo, llueva o truene. Se permiten perros y coches de bebé.

Registration Information/Información de Registro:

Like last year we'd like to encourage everyone to register early! 5K racers registering by April 10 will pay $30 plus processing fees. The 5K price will go up to $35 plus processing fees on April 11, to $45 plus processing fees on packet pick-up day, Friday, May 1, and to $50 plus processing fees for walk-in registrations on race day. This is due to our increased cost for last-minute supplies and labor. The 1K and 1-mile price will be $15 throughout the registration period until race day, when they will go up to $25. If you register four or more people together, each registration will receive a $5 discount. Individuals signing up for multiple events will also receive a discount. We encourage all our UPES families to register for our event--if the cost is a problem, please email upesazaleaclassic5K@gmail.com or see Ms. Neff.

To sponsor the race as a Family Sponsor this year and get your name on the back of the shirt, please make a donation in the amount of $120 (or more) on the race's donate page. If you are registering for the race, the option to donate/sponsor will happen during the registration process. If you do not want to register for the race and only want to sponsor, you can do so from this page by clicking "donate" on the left. If you select a donation "On Behalf of" and choose "Other," you can enter your name as it should appear on the shirt. We can only accept family sponsors until April 19.

/////////////////////////////////

Al igual que el año pasado, ¡queremos animar a todos a registrarse temprano! Los corredores de la carrera de 5K que se inscriban antes del 10 de abril pagarán $30 más las tarifas de procesamiento. El precio de la 5K aumentará a $35 más tarifas de procesamiento el 11 de abril, luego subirá a $45 más tarifas de procesamiento el viernes 1 de mayo, día de recogida de paquetes, y a $50 más tarifas de procesamiento para las inscripciones en persona el día de la carrera. Esto se debe a nuestros mayores costos de suministros y mano de obra de última hora. El precio para las carreras de 1K y 1 milla será de $15 durante todo el período de inscripción, y subirá a $25 el día de la carrera. Si inscribes a cuatro o más personas juntas, cada inscripción recibirá un descuento de $5. Las personas que se inscriban en varios eventos también recibirán un descuento. Animamos a todas nuestras familias de UPES a registrarse en nuestro evento; si el costo es demasiado caro, por favor envía un correo

electrónico a upesazaleaclassic5K@gmail.com o habla con la Sra. Neff.

Para patrocinar la carrera como Family Sponsor este año y que tu nombre aparezca en la parte trasera de la camiseta, por favor haz una donación de $120 (o más) en la página de donaciones de la carrera. Si te estás registrando para la carrera, la opción de donar/patrocinar aparecerá durante el proceso de inscripción. Si no deseas inscribirte en la carrera y solo quieres patrocinar, puedes hacerlo desde esta página haciendo clic en "donar" a la izquierda. Si seleccionas una donación "En nombre de" y eliges "Otro," puedes ingresar tu nombre tal como debería aparecer en la camiseta. Solo podemos aceptar patrocinadores de familias hasta mediados del 19 de abril.

Race week! ¡Semana de la carrera!

Packet pick-up will be held on May 1 from 2pm until 6:30pm and on May 2 (race day) from 7am until the race begins. UPES students will be given the opportunity to pick up their shirts during the school day, but will not be able to pick up for their family members. This year, shirts will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis during packet pick-up. If you pick up your packet on Saturday morning, we may not have your desired size or have run out of shirts.

Runners, walkers, and town residents should be prepared for street closures beginning at 7am along the race route. Parking can often be found along the following streets, but we encourage everyone to walk, bike, and/or take public transportation whenever possible:

  • 4300 Block Underwood St

  • 6500-6600 Block of 44th Ave

  • 4200 Block of Tuckerman St

  • On 41st Ave and Queens Chapel Rd

La recogida de paquetes se llevará a cabo el 1 de mayo de 2:00 p.m. a 6:30 p.m., y el 2 de mayo (día de la carrera) desde las 7:00 a.m. hasta que comience la carrera. Los estudiantes de UPES tendrán la oportunidad de recoger sus camisetas durante el horario escolar, pero no podrán recoger para sus familiares. Este año, las camisetas se distribuirán por orden de llegada durante la recogida de paquetes. Si recoges tu paquete el sábado por la mañana, es posible que no tengamos tu talla deseada o que nos hayamos quedado sin camisetas.

/////////////////////////////////

Corredores, caminantes y residentes de la ciudad deben estar preparados para los cierres de calles que comenzarán a las 7:00 a.m. a lo largo de la ruta de la carrera. A menudo se puede encontrar estacionamiento en las siguientes calles, pero recomendamos a todos caminar, andar en bicicleta o utilizar el transporte público siempre que sea posible:

    Join us for the SOC Christopher Chambers Memorial 5-Mile Run, a community run dedicated to honoring the life, service, and sacrifice of fallen Navy SEAL SOC Christopher Chambers.

    This memorial run is more than a race; it is a moment of remembrance, gratitude, and unity. We come together to memorialize Chris’s legacy, recognize the courage and commitment of those who serve, and raise funds to support his family.

    The run will take place at the University of Maryland, following a scenic 5-mile route around the beautiful Lake Artemisia. The course offers a peaceful and reflective setting, allowing participants to run, walk, or ruck in honor of a hero who gave everything in service to others.

    This event is open to all runners, walkers, students, service members, families, and supporters, anyone who wishes to show their respect and race in remembrance. Whether you are here to push your limits or take each step with quiet reflection, your presence helps keep Christopher's memory alive and provides meaningful support to those he left behind.

    Bio:

    Name: Christopher J. Chambers

    Branch: USN

    Unit: ST3 Charlie Platoon

    Station Assigned: Coronado, CA

    Hometown: Cheverly, Maryland

    Family: Christopher J. Chambers leaves behind his wife, Mikale, and their daughter, Kennedy, along with his parents, Kevin and Lois Chambers, and sister Melanie Flynn.

    Fallen on: January 12th, 2024

    Christopher J. Chambers, a dedicated Navy SEAL, exemplified courage and selflessness, ultimately giving his life as a member of Charlie Platoon, SEAL Team 3, Leading Petty Officer. A former collegiate swimmer with a strong sense of duty, Chambers dedicated his life to serving his country.

    Chambers was a Special Warfare Operator 1st Class, part of the elite SEAL Team 3, based out of Naval Base Coronado. He was known for his dedication, athleticism, and unwavering commitment to his fellow SEALs.

    On January 11, 2024, Chambers and his team were conducting a nighttime boarding operation on a vessel illegally transporting weapons in the Arabian Sea. During the operation, Chambers tragically fell into the rough seas. Without hesitation, Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram bravely jumped into the turbulent waters to try to save his teammate. Tragically, both SEALs were lost at sea.

    Though his life was cut short, Christopher Chambers' heroic actions embody the selfless spirit and unwavering brotherhood that define the Navy SEALs. He is remembered for his dedication to duty, his athletic prowess, and the ultimate sacrifice he made.

    Together, we run with purpose.

    Together, we remember.

    Together, we honor SOC Christopher Chambers.

    The Rene G. Haley Initiative giving season begins with our Spring Fundraiser.

    Please join us for our 4th Annual “I Don’t Give A 5K” walk/run fundraiser on Sunday, April 26.

    We always have a great time, and it’s a family-friendly event with competitive participants and exciting results. The race goes on, rain or shine, and we have a great time, no matter the weather.

    We aim to raise $10K or more to support our community programs like the RGHI Annual Holiday Toy Drive, Fall School Coat Drive, The Huddle, educational workshops for young adults, and the RGHI college scholarship fund. We continue to give back to the community in remembrance of Rene G. Haley, an avid sportsman participating in swimming, snowboarding, basketball, skateboarding, and flag football events in the DMV. We miss him and continue to honor his life by helping youth and young adults in the community.

    Rene wasn’t a runner; as a matter of fact, he “didn’t give a 5K,” but he supported his mother through all her 5K and marathon runs. And he was a fast runner when he had to.

    Each year we put on this event as a way to celebrate his birth date, April 30. As the years pass, we continue celebrating his life and unique spirit.

    So please come as you are, walk or run, have fun, meet new people, and enjoy the beautiful trail as you support the Rene G. Haley Initiative. If you cannot join us for the 5K (Walk/Run), we would appreciate your donation.

    Race Date: Sunday, April 26, 2026
