2026 RAW x UA x Austin Marathon

The most importantest details and instructions - Sunday, Feb. 15

Hey y’all -

RAWdi, Gras, Mardi gRAW, call it what you want. First order of business, read ALL of this email. Because if you ask questions that are answered in this email we will ask you if you read the email and then it’ll get awkward and nobody wants that. Now for the fun parts…

If you’re running, wear your RAW gear and we’ll see you at Mile 10. Whether you blow by, stop to chug a beer, or slam some Fireball, we’ll fire you up!

Reminder - we’re doing a singlets ONLY gear drop at Mean Eyed Cat, Saturday, Feb. 14, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. It will be first-come, first serve. We will try to prioritize people running on Sunday and those who don’t have gear. If you can’t make it, ask someone to pick it up for you.

If you aren't running this Sunday, then it’s borderline mandatory you’re at the RAW x UA Austin Marathon Party Station aka RAWdi Gras aka Mardi gRAW. Let’s face facts, some of you might not make it to the after party once we shut this bad boy down and that’s okay. We just need you to leave it all on the course, HAF, as safely as possible obvi. This is YOUR time to shine!

Please read everything below. There's a ton of instructions, details, shout-outs, and requests. Yes, anything in this email supersedes anything you might've heard or been told by someone else. If you have questions, text or call Dyson (903.391.5461).
