Course and race notes
Lace up for a cause that goes the distance.
The Great Run Austin brings runners and walkers of every pace together for a 5K and 10K through the heart of Austin across the University of Texas Campus - where every step, every mile, and every finish line crossed becomes hope for a child facing diabetes.
In the organizer's words, from the race's own listing.
