The Forest Run

About the event

Garland's most color-crazy, family-friendly, nature-powered 5K event—the Forest Run takes runners (and walkers) through Audubon Park's longest paved trail, where they immerse themselves in the forest, follow the winding creek, and cut the finish line in bursts of color.

About Garland

Learn more about the host city, Garland.

Scenic view of

Garland is a city in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area in the State of Texas. Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill, used to live in Garland, as well as some other small towns around Texas. So, yeah. Don't be shocked if you take a wrong turn through a downscale neighborhood and see someone barbecuing hot dogs using one of those things that turns your truck's air filter into a grill. On the other hand, Garland's north side is a palacial monument to suburban living in all its McMansioned, strip malling, Starbucks-sipping glory. Garland is basically an unprepossessing, pleasant place. While it's hard to get too excited about much that happens in Garland, it is just so darned pleasant.
