ABOUT THE AZALEA RUN: Hosted by the Muskogee Running Club, the City of Muskogee, and Saint Francis Health Systems, the Annual Azalea Run returns to Honor Heights Park on April 11th.

This run dates back to the mid-1980s, and has had many names, most recent of which has been the Muskogee Run. For many years we start at Honor Heights Park and ran on roads to the west of the park. This year's event will stay inside the park and is better suited with the traditional name "The Azalea Run".

This will be one of many events of the 2025 Azalea Festival, which will go on the entire month of April. The Chili Cookoff will also be happening on April 10-11 at Hatbox Sports Complex in Muskogee.

We will be using a course familiar to many local runners, the Garden of Lights Run Course, but it will have a much different feel for a spring run. Please read below for more event details and we hope to see you on April 11th!

T-SHIRTS & AWARDS: Included in your registration fee is a Azalea Run t-shirt, refreshments afterwards, and a chance to win a Azalea Run medal that will be awarded to the top 3 in each age groups. Age Groups will be - 8 and under, 9-12, 13-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 and Over.

5k COURSE: The Garden of Lights Run course will keep runners inside the park and will offer many beautiful views of the parks flowers and gardens. CLICK HERE FOR COURSE MAP

    Join us for Bigfoot's Backyard Bash!

    Runners will get a shirt and finisher medal. This is a low key, fun vibe event. Runners can start anytime between 8am and noon. You can run 1 five mile loop or multiple. There will be no timing and no top awards. We will have aid station snacks at the loop start/finish area.

    We loved the vibe of GTR this year and decided we needed a summer version.

    This event is limited to 250 runners.

    The shirt cutoff is June 1.
