As the Austin Challenge enters its 12th year, we need more Texans than ever to unite to pick a fight with cancer. On October 25-26, you'll have your chance as thousands of fired up Texans descend on the Austin area to take the LIVESTRONG Challenge 5K Run/Walk with a start/finish at the Capitol steps, and 10, 40, 60 and 90-mile rides in Dripping Springs. Together we will raise money and awareness to inspire and empower the nearly 12 million Americans living with cancer.

FYI
Before you sign up, please be sure to read the liability release. Main point is "All participants must pay $50 at the time of registration. Riders must raise an additional $250 to participate." I'd love to do the ride, but raising $500 (me and Tom) right before Xmas is a bit much to ask of friends and relatives. Maybe we'll just do the 5K run since it is for a good cause.

Thanks for the notice
I might rethink it now because I will have just finished raising funds for the MS150...

things have changed with this event
The fundraising aspect is why I don't actually do the event. I just volunteer at LiveStrong Village packet pickup.

Thanks
Thanks for the info on the discount. Im thinking that Ill still be recovering from the MS150, but I could make the 40 miler. I really want to do this for my buddy, who lost his battle on Dec 1,2007. Im trying to convince the boy to accompany me.
