¡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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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:

  • 4300 Block Underwood St

  • 6500-6600 Block of 44th Ave

  • 4200 Block of Tuckerman St
