4th Annual Pilar McLemore Butterfly Run

Registration is LIVE for the 4th Annual Pilar McLemore Butterfly Run on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Longview Arboretum & Nature Center! 🦋

**Special EARLY BIRD pricing through May 31st!**

This meaningful 5K run/walk benefits the Texas Oncology Foundation, with proceeds staying right here in East Texas to support families facing cancer. Following the race, children 12 and under are invited to participate in the free Little Bug Run through the Arboretum gardens. Butterfly wings are not required—but they’re always welcome!

Run, walk, or flutter along with us—every step truly makes a difference.

Event Details
The race will begin at the West Gate of the Arboretum, facing Maude Cobb. Register by October 10 to guarantee your event t-shirt. All participants will enjoy breakfast after the race, a swag bag, and a race bib. Event registration also includes admission to the Arboretum.
