Treat Yourself to a Massage, Complimentary Food, and More Following the Tour des Fleurs

This Saturday, September 21st, Dallas Arboretum, and Botanical Garden will present Tour des Fleurs on the lakeside trail of White Rock Lake. Touted as "Dallas' best post-race party," this year's party is a huge celebration featuring live music from the Emerald City All-Stars band. Don’t miss it this weekend!

Tour des Fleurs has become a tradition for more than 3,000 runners. The event offers over $10,000 in cash prizes for overall winners in both the quarter marathon and half marathon. The three prize-winning race categories include Open Women and Men, Masters Women and Men and Age Group Awards. Overall and Master awards are based on time and are recorded in the order they cross the finish line.

Hydration stations with water and supplements will be available along with both courses with plenty of water and inspiration. After the race, participants can stay and enjoy complimentary food, beer, and other beverages, and freebies from a variety of Tour des Fleurs sponsors. Massage therapists will also be on hand to relax tired post-run muscles!

The mission of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is to build and maintain a public venue that promotes the art, enjoyment, and knowledge of horticulture while providing opportunities for education and research. Located on the shores of White Rock Lake, the Arboretum’s 66 acres include a complete life science laboratory with endless potential for discovery. The Arboretum has a 75-member Board of Directors, 120 full-time paid staff members, 50+ part-time paid staff members, and more than 273 active volunteers.
