When I moved to Austin in 2006 I was enamored with walking the trail around Town Lake, as it was called then. The running store located right near the trail provided large coolers of water and paper cups for trail users. That was so impressive. I have loved the trail ever since.
For over two decades, runners, walkers, and margarita lovers have gathered along the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail for this high-energy 5K fun-run. Kicking off with a shotgun start, the route winds through the scenic streets of downtown Austin, bordering the Butler Trail and Lady Bird Lake. The race ends in a lively community celebration at Auditorium Shores, filled with music and festivities!
