Hey crew, -We launched a Virtual 5k to support our friends at Mean Eyed Cat. Our IG post, which we'd appreciate if you threw at like has more info in it here. (Like + share on FB and IG is helpful if you have 30 seconds!)-The virtual 5k, which will take place the weekend of 4/25 and 4/26 has registration live here. -100% of every dollar goes directly to MEC staff as they obviously don't have jobs right now and the bar is closed for now. This is one small way we're trying to help local businesses during this time - especially if you're able to. It's important we all help each other out! If you register by the end of 4/12 (tomorrow) we'll do our best to have a RAW x Under Armour shirt shipped out to you in addition o the $5 Do-Rite BBQ gift card, the $5 MEC gift card, and the $10 Fleet Feet Austin gift card. -While the pandemic is ongoing and we're under a shelter in place order, the UA mantra/hashtag to use on your social posts is #ThroughThisTogether. It's the new brand campaign and we'd appreciate it if, when you're tagging on social, you used that hashtag in addition to just tagging us in general. -You don't need to live in Austin to participate! You can do the "race" anywhere in the world. Just get 5k in, get motivated, and have something to look forward to while supporting our home bar. Please keep all local guidelines and public health officials recommendations in mind when debating how to get the 5k in. -How else can we help? What other ways do you want to get connected to us? Let us know via email. We have received a ton of inbound interest in setting up a Slack channel, so we're considering that. But other ideas/suggestions are welcome. We want to make sure everyone is staying connected and motivated through these unprecedented times. -Pat Wong is going to donate $5 to a non-profit for every single RAW Runner that beats his 5k time the weekend of the race. We haven't picked the non profit - but we'll count it up on the leaderboard and we'll send out the results for how many folks beat Pat. Thanks for your generosity and keeping things fun Pat!We'll get #ThroughThisTogether soon. Until then - stay safe and healthy. Email us if you have any questions!Paras, Ryan, and Pat
