RAW + BACK THE TRACK

Hello all,

Back The Track is a private/public partnership with the community at large + AISD to help us get one of the world's greatest tracks - a massively needed facelift. In our estimation, this unique track located off of the most crowded part of the trail + the proximity to downtown AND the high school makes it amongst the most heavily used tracks in the country. The Austin High Track is in desparate need for a major overhaul.

If you've ever come to RAW, you've likely done a RAW workout on the track. Whether it's Fenton's famous Roll The Dice workout where everyone hopes for matching 1's, Paras's 400 relays that he rigs so he always wins, or Hitchins throwing down on you in the final 150m of the Mile Time Trial because he's a serial sandbagger - we've all used the track extensively.

Even outside of RAW, the track is often a meeting point for many groups and people running. A place to do early morning workouts. A place to do late night workouts. A place to hang out and do a few laps as a warm up before a long run. The track holds a special place in our heart. The track was the place that Will Nation (RAW's fastest ever marathoner at 2:16) did many workouts.

To that effect, many of the people in RAW are involved with Back The Track. Hitchin's company

FitRankings

has a nice sign up there. Fenton's company,

Flotrack

has supported the track by way of financial donation + making a video at the start for our campaign and many, many more.

A few weeks ago at RAW, Pat challenged everyone to raise some money for the track so we can get our own sign up there. RunLab usually rigs together a team to do everything, but they don't have a sign up there - so this is one thing we are most certainly going to beat them at. The money raised from this particular donation will go to getting a sign on the track that has our RAW logo on it.

We had a couple hundred bucks committed on the spot and then via fb even more people stepped up. Here's the current list of RAW Members that have stepped up to help (or pledged their help)
