The Azle Lake Run has been a primary event in the Azle community for 43 years. A portion of the proceeds are shared among local charities such as the Azle Community Caring Center, Eagle Mountain Pregnancy Help Center, Good NEWS for Seniors, and other ministries of the Azle Area
Ministerial Alliance. See more details below about these charities.
From the seasoned runner to the beginner, the Azle Lake Run offers two different event
levels of varying challenges for all.
*5k (3.1 miles)
*1 Mile Color Fun Run
​
Set for its 43rd annual running in 2024 through the streets of this small city that lies just a short drive from nearby Fort Worth and the Dallas metropolitan area, the Azle Lake Run features a 5K and one-mile Color Fun run, all of which will start and finish at Azle’s Ash Creek Park, 605 Southeast Parkway, Azle, TX.
​
The race takes runners on a winding, out-and-back route through Azle which lies along the western edge of Eagle Mountain Lake.
Race Weather & Climate
On race day (Nov. 2, 2024), Azle typically sees an average low of 46ºF and an average high 68ºF.
Pet Friendly
The Azle Lake Run is one of the few running events which permits pets on the course with their owners.
Animals should be current with their vaccinations and keep their owners on a leash. Water will be provided on the courses for all our furry friends.
​
Some proceeds from the event go to the Azle High School Marching Green Pride Band and its booster club. Band members assist with the race and provide musical entertainment along the course.
