Important Details

Alright y'all, time for the important shit. Before you read what's listed below, know that you can, nay, we strongly urge you to bring whatever you want: booze, food, noise makers, posters, chalk, hot pink duct tape (yes, for Jose, but also for the course), tables (NEED), chairs, coolers (NEED), FRIENDS, and a FUCK TON OF ENERGY. Here's what we'll have:

  • DJ David Glenn (was at 3M Half) is back and bringing BIGGER speakers

  • 300 cans of Field Trip

  • 360 cans of EIGHT Beer

  • 200 Jell-o shots (shout-out to Bryan Marquet, newer RAW runner running the Austin Marathon!)

  • 150 breakfast tacos

  • I would imagine numerous bottles of Fireball and champagne

We're making a trip to HEB too. What we purchase will mainly be for runners (think bacon, bananas, gummy bears, shit like that). If possible, we'll buy some extra snacks, but again, feel free to contribute even more! Extra beer from your Super Bowl party? Pack them. Random bottle of Fireball in your freezer? Snag it. Love to bake treats? We will not stop you. If you and your friends are artistic make posters! If you have an extra 6' table or two bring them. Big cooler not getting used? Bring it and grab some ice. If you think we might need it, bring it. Yes, that includes Lone Star, you think I'd forget?!
