Lace up those running or walking shoes!
The Tallapoosa Dogwood Dash is racing into town just before the beloved Tallapoosa Dogwood Festival — and it’s the perfect way to start your Saturday.
Whether you’re a competitive runner chasing a PR 🏃♂️, a family pushing a stroller, or a friend group just there for the fun and fresh spring air, the Dogwood Dash welcomes all paces and all ages.
You’ll run through beautiful downtown Tallapoosa surrounded by blooming dogwoods and small-town charm that makes our community shine.
Enjoy all that the Dogwood Dash has to offer:
🌸 Scenic route lined with historic homes, azaleas, tulips, and, of course, dogwoods
🌸 Family-friendly atmosphere
🌸 A healthy, energetic start to festival day
🌸 Bragging rights (and maybe one of the most beautiful, unique stained glass medals 😉)
After you cross the finish line, stick around for food vendors, arts & crafts, live entertainment, and all the festivities the Dogwood Festival has to offer.
Grab your friends, bring your family, and let’s make this year’s Dogwood Dash the best one yet.
**Race is professionally timed.**
