2022 Austin Marathon WeekHi folks, We are back in *full force* and with that, we're so pumped up for Austin Marathon week. This is our Super Bowl and is the funnest weekend of the year.If you're running - awesome. Have fun, get a big PR, and tag us + @austinmarathon on Instagram all week long. If you're not running, come cheer at the Cheer Zone. And then afterwards, we'll all come to Mean Eyed Cat for the most epic after party of the year. Here's the plan for the week Tuesday Night (2/15) - RAW 420

• Come out to RAW this week. We're headed to the track to do some faster stuff the week of the race.

• We are clearing out all of our older gear, shoes, etc. We don't have inventory on everything but it must *all* go. If you get to RAW at 6.30p (a few mins early) and meet William Dyson in the parking garage he will have a whole truck bed full of stuff. No guarantees it fits you or doesn't fit you, but we are getting rid of everything so you're best bet is to get there a few mins early tomorrow night.

• 7p at Mean Eyed Cat

Saturday (2/19) - Shake Out Run at Fleet Feet Seaholm (7.30am)

Saturday (2/19) - RAW/EFC Breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe (9.00am)

Electric Flight Crew is our sister Under Armour Run Club. A few of their folks are in town for the race and Nate + Lianne Straathoff have generously offered to host RAW, EFC, and anyone else from the Shakeout Run up at their restaurant, Another Broken Egg Cafe.

This will be hyper informal and if you're coming and you don't know anyone, Nate will seat you at a RAW table with other RAW/EFC folks. This is the first time we've ever done something like this and we're going to be informal about it in year 1 and grow it from here. This is a fantastic opportunity to eat some breakfast with everyone running or cheering. Nate is kindly going to discount everyone's bill and offer some free goodies if you go hang out.

Re: RAW Singlets. I'll send out an updated email about this later this week once I get them in my hands. They are currently at the printer and I should have them later this week. Once I get them we'll set up a house/time you can all go get them from if you don't have them.

This is a quick rundown of the weekend plans. Mark them. Book them. Make sure you're there. It's Marathon Week baby!!!!!!
