Love Austin Week: The Trail Foundation

The Trail Foundation works tirelessly to keep Lady Bird Lake and The Trail clean and beautiful for Austinites. The Trail attracts 3,000 to 15,000 walkers and runners every day - that’s over 1.5 million annual visitors. Its biggest need is increased membership. This is our trail, our lake and our Austin. It’s time for us to give back.

Event: The World’s Shortest Long Distance Run

It’s Valentine’s Day, what better day to show love for our city’s most beautiful running trail. Runners, walkers, and supporters are invited to City Hall Plaza at lunchtime to participate in a one or three-mile social run (led by local celebrity runners).

All participating runners will meet in front of City Hall Plaza at 12:15 p.m. then continue on to The Trail on Lady Bird Lake for their respective one or three-mile route.

Good food, music and vibes at City Hall Plaza will follow the run! A number of local health and wellness non-profits will also be on hand with information and booths promoting a healthy Austin. If you are interested in joining the race please sign up here and we will send you the form!
