Moonlight Margarita Run and Gala this Thursday to Raise Funds for Lady Bird Lake Trail

2nd August, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

This Thursday starting at 8PM is the Moonlight Margarita Run and Gala which benefits the Lady Bird Lake trial. The run is a 5K that starts near where the trail crosses Mopac, and the gala is held afterward at American Legion Hall. Entry for the run is $35 , for the gala it’s $65, and for both it’s $95. Proceeds from the night’s event go to The Trail Foundation, a nonprofit organization that works to improve the trail around the lake. You can register here or check out more details.  The Statesman notes that the events “help fund the upcoming $475,000 renovation of the very trailhead where the race starts — the busiest access point on the 10-mile crushed granite pathway” and that “work should start this fall and take about six months.”
