It's new and exciting this year! Every month we will be giving away very cool 2014 Azalea Run Swag. Here is how it works. We will give away an Azalea Run gift every month.
Everyone that register's for the 2014 Azalea run qualifies. You will be entered into the drawing and remain in the drawing's all the way up to the 2014 run. So the earlier you register the more of an opportunity you will have to win an Azalea Run gift. At the first of each month leading up to the run we will release a video of the drawing winner and the unveiling of the next month's gift. Each month will be a different Azalea Run swag gift. The first 2014 Azalea Run swag gift we will give away is this 22 oz. Stein.
AND!!! To give you more of an opportunity to win an Azalea Run Gift and to show our appreciation for your support...we will give you an extra ticket into the drawing for everyone you refer to register for the Azalea Run. All that is needed is for the person you refer to list you as the referee when they sign up.

Last year we were joined by hundreds of visitors and guests to watch the 400+ runners complete the first ever half marathon to be held in Nixa. All of the planing and hard work from our 20 sponsors and forty or more volunteers went to benefit the Nixa Azalea Festival Association whose efforts go to improve the Nixa community and the development of botanical gardens in the county.
Building on last year’s success, we are working hard to provide the community with the next annual Azalea Run that will be held on Saturday, September 13th, 2014. Modestly we hope to double the number of participants, sponsors and guests!
New this year will be a finisher lapel pin for everyone that competes in the 5K, 10K and half. We will unveil the new custom 5 inch finisher’s medal (watch the video!) for the half marathon along with the shirt designs, team awards and planned entertainment. Like last year we will be awarding a total of 240 age division medals that promise to “sparkle” and everyone is guaranteed a tech shirt.
